I was initially enthusiastic about the mind-transforming potential of psychedelics. But on closer inspection, the story is not that straightforward

Psychedelic therapy appeared to offer great potential for treating a wide variety of disorders, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

But at face value, it seems as if psychedelic therapy can cure mental disease, but on closer inspection, the story is not that straightforward.

The empirical evidence for the efficacy of and the working mechanisms underlying psychedelic therapy is far from clear.

Personally, I have developed a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to psychedelic science. I am still intrigued by psychedelics’ potential. They offer great tools for studying changes in consciousness. However, it is too early to conclude anything definite about their working mechanisms or their therapeutic potential. For this, we need more research. And I’m excited to contribute to that endeavor. This article was originally published on The Conversation by Michiel van Elk at Leiden University .
