Psilocybin, MDMA and LSD began to be used for the treatment of mental disorders in world therapy as early as the 70s of the last century. These substances are still prohibited in Ukraine. And for the treatment of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), more traditional methods are used - psychotherapy and antidepressants.
Part of the people who do not manage to recover thanks to these methods could be helped by psychedelic-assisted therapy, which is currently little known in Ukraine. However, among psychedelic substances, only ketamine is currently approved for such treatment.
What is ketamine therapy and how to treat mental disorders with its help - in the hromadske material.
