Abstract Background and Aims Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) is a novel, transdiagnostic treatment in which the 5-HT2A receptor agonist psilocybin is combined with psychotherapy. Studies to date have evaluated PAP's effects on depression, substance use, and end-of-life adjustment. Relatively less attention has been given to its effects on anxiety symptoms, which are highly comorbid with...

This meta-analysis examined the effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) on competitive anxiety in athletes. Eighteen controlled trials (N = 667) from seven databases were included. Random-effects modeling revealed a moderate overall effect favoring MBI [g = -0.53, 95% CI (-0.74, -0.32), I 2 = 63%], with greater reductions in cognitive anxiety (g = -0.58) than somatic anxiety (g =...

This editorial briefly reviews past, current and emerging anxiolytic treatments, including psychedelic-assisted therapies, and highlights key themes. There remains a major need for improved medications to reduce disability and improve quality of life.
