Types of Psychedelic Therapy
Many substances can be used for psychedelic therapy. Common options may include:
– Psilocybin: This substance may change perceptions, mood, and consciousness. It is currently being studied for treating depression, anxiety, and addiction.
– Lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD: Like psilocybin, this substance may also change your perceptions, mood, and consciousness. That’s why it can be a possible treatment for anxiety and addiction.
– Ayahuasca: Originate in South America, this brew can help with depression, anxiety, and addiction. However, it may cause medication interaction and increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
– Ecstasy or MDMA: It may increase sociability, boost arousal, change perceptions, and make you feel euphoric. [3]
