Is psilocybin a safe and feasible treatment for anorexia nervosa in youth?

Short answer: we do not know yet.

How often do psychedelics and MDMA trigger mania or hypomania, and in whom?

I cannot independently verify the 2026 paper, but according to a new systematic review and meta-analysis summarized here, serotonergic psychedelics (psilocybin, LSD, mescaline, DMT/ayahuasca) and MDMA occasionally trigger hypomania or mania, with rates varying by context. Reported frequencies ranged from about 5.8% in controlled psilocybin-assisted therapy for severe depression to as high as 30% in […]

What is pharmahuasca?

Pharmahuasca is a lab-prepared combination of DMT with a monoamine oxidase A inhibitor, typically harmine or harmaline, designed to mimic the core pharmacology of ayahuasca using purified, measured compounds. DMT is normally broken down quickly by the enzyme MAO-A. When paired with an MAO-A inhibitor like harmine, that breakdown is reduced, so DMT remains active […]

Does an MDMA booster dose extend the experience?

Yes. In a controlled crossover study with healthy volunteers, a supplemental MDMA dose extended the overall duration of subjective effects by roughly one hour, without increasing peak intensity. Side effects were more frequent after MDMA than after placebo. The study did not clearly show whether the booster produced more side effects than a single dose. […]

Does psilocybin also improve anxiety, quality of life and PTSD in TRD veterans?

Short answer: In a small open-label pilot study of U.S. veterans with treatment-resistant depression, psilocybin-assisted therapy was associated with reduced anxiety and with improvements in quality of life and functioning, and PTSD symptoms also declined. These findings are preliminary. Fifteen participants were followed for up to 12 months after a single supported session. Anxiety dropped […]
