LSD was recently granted "breakthrough-therapy status" by the FDA after clinical trials show a single dose provides "immediate and lasting relief" from generalized anxiety [0]. I know you're asking about a slightly different effect, but IMHO they are related. I myself have experienced personal revelations through psychedelics that have had lasting effects and positive consequences in my life. My gut feeling is that any revelations or breakthroughs people have from psychedelics could also eventually occur through other means (therapy, meditation, etc.), but not as quick. It's like a shortcut to the sort of deep introspection needed to unwind the stories we have ingrained into ourselves.
