Psychedelic-assisted therapy shows promise for treating common mental health disorders, yet many midwives lack knowledge about its benefits, best practices, and integration into treatment plans. This review describes current applications and legal status of psychedelic medicines, and explores how midwifery practice could expand with further training. It also highlights disparities in research and treatment access for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC populations, who have been historically excluded from this field.
