Psychedelic compounds are being reexamined for their psychological and neurobiological effects. Evidence suggests they can treat mood disorders, PTSD, and addiction by enhancing neuroplasticity and disrupting maladaptive cognitive patterns. Psychologically, they facilitate introspection and emotional processing; neuroscientific findings show altered brain network dynamics. Anthropological and philosophical perspectives contextualize their cultural and existential significance. In medicine, they offer novel interventions for chronic pain and palliative care. The review calls for rigorous, ethically grounded research to explore psychedelics' potential in reshaping mental health paradigms and cognitive science.
