What is the role of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of psychiatric disorders? MayoClinicHS PsychedelicDrugs MentalHealth PsychiatricDisorders
By Suchandrima BhowmikJul 25 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux Previous research on psychedelic drugs has indicated that they can effectively treat psychiatric disorders. Psychedelic drugs comprise many synthetic, natural, and semisynthetic compounds. These drugs can alter the sense of time and space and cause ego dissolution.
However, the requirement of effective pharmacotherapies for psychiatric disorders has led to an increase in psychedelic research since the 1990s. They have been analyzed for treating several psychiatric disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder , treatment-resistant depression , anxiety, substance use disorders, and adjustment disorders in life-threatening disorders. FDA has approved psilocybin and 3,4-methylenedioxy-methylamphetamine for the treatment of PTSD and TRD.
Serious adverse events associated with MDMA in clinical trials have been reported to be rare and non-life-threatening. Some of the common MDMA side-effects include poor appetite along with an increase in body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. However, further studies are required for a better understanding of MDMA efficacy along with its safety and risks.
