New research shows how "mystical" and "insightful" one's experience is while taking psychedelics may directly affect how beneficial those drugs are for treating anxiety, depression, and even PTSD.
Researchers from the University of California, Davis, believe they now understand why psychedelic drugs like LSD, MDMA, and mushrooms rapidly regrow neural connections within the brain.
A recent study further supports that altered states of consciousness are the key to psychedelic therapy, after finding no positive impact from psilocybin microdosing.
New research suggests that music could play a beneficial role in psilocybin therapy, a form of treatment of depression and other mental health conditions.
