Summary of How Psychedelic Experiences May Improve Mental Health:
This research suggests that more mystical and insightful psychedelic drug experiences may be linked to an enduring reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms. A machine learning analysis of data from nearly 1,000 survey respondents revealed that those who scored the highest on questionnaires measuring the mystical and insightful quality of their experiences reported consistent relief from symptoms of anxiety and depression. The research also found that a challenging experience while on these substances, one that feels frightening or destabilizing, can have beneficial results, especially in the context of mystical and insightful experiences.
