Abstract Background A critical gap exists in understanding the biological mechanism linking ketamine’s rapid anti-suicidal effects to the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS). While the "Kinetic Mismatch" between acute relief and delayed synaptogenesis is well-known, current models overlook how ketamine modulates “Thwarted Belongingness” (a core IPTS pillar) and the attachment anxiety that...

Abstract Background The sequence in which psychological interventions are delivered may influence their efficacy.

This research essay/article argues that cannabis can reasonably be described as psychedelic in a phenomenological sense, even though it is not pharmacologically classified as a classic serotonergic psychedelic such as LSD or psilocybin. The central distinction is between pharmacology and phenomenology: THC acts primarily through the endocannabinoid system, especially CB1 receptor signaling, yet...
