What is Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy?
Psychedelic-assisted therapy involves the use of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin, MDMA, and LSD, in conjunction with therapy sessions. The therapy aims to help patients with various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is not a standalone treatment but is instead used in conjunction with traditional therapy techniques.
