psilocybin therapy

Psychedelic-assisted mental healing

Psilocybin therapy is a treatment approach using the psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, administered in controlled clinical settings to address mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and addiction.

Sessions typically involve guided support from trained therapists: She underwent psilocybin therapy after other treatments failed.

The practice gained renewed attention in the 2020s as research showed promising results and some jurisdictions began decriminalizing or approving its use.
