Abstract
Psychedelic-assisted therapy may offer new avenues for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Current therapies for PTSD, primarily psychotherapy, often have marginal effectiveness.
- PTSD remains a chronic condition with high rates of additional psychiatric and medical illnesses.
- Psychedelic substances may provide alternative methods for managing PTSD symptoms.
- The review will assess the efficacy of four psychedelics: 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, ketamine, classical psychedelics, and cannabis.
- An overview of therapeutic justification and available evidence for each psychedelic will be included.
- Future research questions are proposed to enhance understanding of psychedelic-assisted therapy in PTSD treatment.
