VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lui Franciosi has been reviewing the science and history of psychedelic drugs for treating depression, anxiety and addiction. Psilocybin is the most intriguing of the psychedelics. It works through an active metabolite called psilocin, which can cross the blood–brain barrier and binds serotonin receptors. Studies of psilocybin show potentially positive clinical benefits with minimal safety concerns. Lui Franciosi states, “This drug has been suggested to have effects on treatment-resistant depression, suicide prevention, and substance use disorders; and it is helping change how all hallucinogens are being viewed within the clinical community.” The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated psilocybin as a “breakthrough therapy” for hard-to-treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. This status is normally given to drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions. This review of the psilocybin literature for various mental health disorders including smoking cessation will provide a better sense of its long-term therapeutic effects and safety profile.
