Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy combines psychedelic drugs with talk therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder and treatment-resistant depression. This approach more directly alters brain activity than current depression treatments, producing profound insights, emotional release, and cognitive shifts. It requires fewer sessions—often just one—and an unpublished study found sustained remission of depression 18 months after a single treatment.
