The Rising Interest in Psychedelic Therapy

In the past five years, there has been a significant increase in the exploration of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes, propelled by Michael Pollan's book, 'How to Change Your Mind.' Various avenues have emerged, from indigenous rituals in the Amazon to ketamine clinics in the US, catering to those seeking mental and spiritual healing. Despite showing positive impacts on brain functions and mood changes, the understanding of optimal settings and precautions for psychedelic experiences remains limited. Scientists are actively researching how to assess individuals' suitability for these treatments and the necessary support structures.
