Psychedelic Science: Hallucinogens as Treatment for Psychiatric Disorders
Doctors are giving psychedelics a second look after scientists won permission to study hallucinogens’ potential for treating some mental disorders. Patients diagnosed with depression have reported that after taking hallucinogens, their lives have gained more meaning and their relationships with family/loved ones have improved.
“Researchers from around the world are gathering this week in San Jose, Calif., for the largest conference on psychedelic science held in the United States in four decades. They plan to discuss studies of psilocybin and other psychedelics for treating depression in cancer patients, obsessive-compulsive disorder, end-of-life anxiety,post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction to drugs or alcohol.”
