This is remarkable - IIRC previous studies (X) involved additional psychotherapy, and quite extensively.

- AnthonBerg 3y agoAs I understand it, the reasons for it working by itself are described here: “Psychedelics and Immunomodulation: Novel Approaches and Therapeutic Opportunities“, A. Szabo (2015). https://doi.org/10.3389%2Ffimmu.2015.00358 https://doi.org/10.3389%2Ffimmu.2015.00358 Central nervous system inflammation does not feel good. There are many, many known links between mental or emotional ills and inflammation. All the classical serotonin receptor 5-HT2A-activating psychedelics as well as MDMA are profoundly immunomodulatory. They reduce inflammation.
- LoganDark 3y agoThis is great news. I believe in the possible utility of LSD without requiring professional/clinical supervision. I've used it at home quite a bit in the past and it's been extremely useful for processing emotions and trauma, as well as helping calm me down in general. I'm neurodivergent, so it most definitely doesn't work this way for everyone, but it's extremely helpful for me and I hope that one day the law recognizes that.
