Abstract
Increasing clinical trials suggest that psychedelics may be effective in treating mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders.
- Evidence indicates that psychedelics or serotonergic hallucinogens could influence treatment outcomes for various psychological disorders.
- The effects of these substances may involve alterations in brain dynamics, particularly in regions abundant in serotonin receptors.
- Personality changes may also be associated with the therapeutic effects of psychedelics.
- Current research highlights both potential benefits and limitations in understanding the mechanisms behind these effects.
