A systematic review of five studies (two exploratory studies, two case reports, and one prospective study) found limited evidence on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics for body dysmorphic disorder and eating disorders. Effects on symptoms were identified mostly through thematic analyses and self-reports. The review concludes that more research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of psychedelics in these conditions and suggests avenues for future exploration.
