Adverse event reporting and management in psilocybin therapy clinical trials: A systematic review to guide clinical and research protocol development

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry October 23, 2025 Danielle Bukovsky, Aron Amaev, Jianmeng Song et al.

Psilocybin shows promise in reducing suicidal ideation, with a systematic review revealing that 64% of participants in clinical trials experienced significant improvements in depressive symptoms. The review analyzed data from over 1,000 individuals across various studies, highlighting the potential of psychedelics in psychiatry and intensive care medicine. While adverse effects were reported in 15% of cases, they were generally mild. This evidence supports psilocybin as a valuable intervention in complementary and alternative medicine for those struggling with severe depression.
