No, it isnt reliable. People with bipolar should avoid all drugs. The point psych meds is to stabilize mood. Shrooms do the exact opposite and definitely can trigger a manic episode.

Antipsychotics dont induce manias, but some other mood stabilizers and SSRIs can. That is why they require follow up and are commonly used only with antipsychotics, not in isolation (and should be stopped if hypomania symptoms occur).
