Depression affects over 300 million people worldwide. This is an increase of more than 18% from 2005 to 2015. Depression is a disease of epidemic proportions. Among those seeking treatment, approximately 60% still experience symptoms of depression even when receiving traditional care.

The need for better solutions is clear.

Usona embraces the challenge of finding a better way forward. We are a non‑profit, medical research organization looking beyond the traditional treatments for depression. Our aim is to enable and support research toward the goal of an FDA registration for psilocybin as an approved medicine.
