Neuropharmacology July 1, 2025 Brennan M. Carrithers, Daniel E. Roberts, Brandon M Weiss et al. 4 citations

Abstract Psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) experiences can range from very positive to highly challenging (e.g., fear, grief, and paranoia). These challenging experiences contribute to hesitancy toward psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy among health care providers and patients.
