A review of 19 studies on psychedelic microdosing found potential benefits for mental health, including improved mood, focus, and daily function, but also reported challenges such as physiologic discomfort and increased anxiety. Some studies observed that positive expectations about microdosing led to positive outcomes. The evidence suggests a positive correlation between microdosing and improved mental well-being, but the causal relationship remains uncertain due to limited controlled studies and small sample sizes. The review calls for further research with double-blind experiments, control groups, and larger, more representative samples.
