Psilocybin: From Psychiatric Pariah to Perceived Panacea
American Journal of Psychiatry January 1, 2025 Adrienne Grzenda, Gregory A. Fonzo, Aaron Wolfgang et al. 14 citations
Current evidence does not support recommending psilocybin combined with psychological support (PST) as a psychiatric treatment. More rigorous clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness in larger and more diverse patient groups, determine appropriate dosing, improve blinding methods, and understand how it works and for whom it works best. Comparing it directly with other proven treatments will clarify its potential future role in treating major psychiatric disorders.
