Article Synopsis
- There is a growing interest in using psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, for treating various psychiatric conditions, notably depression and anxiety linked to serious illnesses, as they may offer a viable alternative to traditional treatments with fewer side effects.
- Clinical trials have indicated that psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) is generally safe and shows promising improvements in depressive symptoms, with effects that can be immediate and sustained.
- Although early findings are encouraging, more extensive research is needed, including larger and more diverse studies, to fully understand the efficacy of PAT compared to conventional treatments like SSRIs.
