Are we on the cusp of a psychedelic renaissance in psychiatry?

Paglalarawan

Professor Rachel Yehuda from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai describes psychedelics as “heart openers” and Dr. Liliana Galindo from the University of Cambridge likens their action to a surgeon’s scalpel, but each agree that psychedelic-assisted therapy may offer lasting relief to people struggling with a wide range of mental health problems.  Both join Lancet editors Jonathan and Matt to discuss the burgeoning field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. LSD, MDMA, 5-MeO-DMT, psilocybin, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance-use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder; potentially-pivotal phase 3 trial data are maturing amid growing interest from regulators and investors, but many practical questions remain before the patients most in need may benefit from this psychedelic renaissance. --------------------------------- The Lancet Pulse is part of the Lancet Group podcast offering.  Editorial team: Chloe Wilson, Ben Abbott, Matthew Gilbert, and Jonathan Pimm Podcast editing and production: Matteo Simonetti Visit https://www.thelancet.com/multimedia (https://www.thelancet.com/multimedia?dgcid=buzzsprout_podcast_tlp_mm) to learn more about our multimedia offering.  Find the best science for better lives at https://www.thelancet.com (https://www.thelancet.com/?dgcid=https://www.thelancet.com/multimedia?dgcid=buzzsprout_podcast_tlp_mm) Continue this conversation on social!
