Psychedelic substances show promise for psychiatric treatment, but their therapeutic effect is not purely pharmacological; they enhance psychotherapy. A systematic review and case study demonstrate that integrating psychedelics with psychotherapeutic interventions is essential. The paper examines the historical context, mechanism of action, and evidence for treating depression, emphasizing methodological rigor and ethical standards. It advocates for psychedelic treatments as legitimate alternatives alongside traditional therapies, potentially shifting psychiatric care paradigms.
