What if anxiety care didn’t mean taking a pill every day or endlessly pushing through talk therapy that doesn’t quite stick? A growing number of researchers are asking that same question—and turning their attention to a new possibility: psychedelic-assisted therapy. Currently under investigation in advanced clinical trials, this approach combines guided psychedelic sessions with therapeutic support to explore how it may impact people living with chronic anxiety.

What if one or two supervised sessions with a psychedelic compound could help people with depression feel relief faster—and with longer-lasting effects—than traditional medications?

Everyone feels down from time to time. But when sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in life persist for weeks or months, it may be more than just a rough patch—it could be Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Living with ADHD can be a daily challenge — disorganization, impulsivity, forgetfulness, and difficulty staying focused can disrupt work, school, and relationships. But for many, these symptoms are only part of the picture. Anxiety disorders frequently co-occur with ADHD, adding another layer of complexity to daily life.

For many, depression is an invisible battle — a daily weight that colors every thought, decision, and moment. While some find relief through therapy or antidepressants, others continue to struggle despite trying multiple medications. This is known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and it affects a significant number of people diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Anxiety isn’t always fleeting. For millions of adults, it’s a daily, debilitating experience.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) affects approximately 3.1% of U.S. adults each year, and many find limited relief even after trying traditional medications like SSRIs or benzodiazepines[^1]. Symptoms often include excessive worry, restlessness, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating — lasting six months or more and affecting relationships, work, and daily life.

When most people hear “bipolar disorder,” they picture mood swings — dramatic highs followed by crashing lows. But for many individuals, it's the depressive episodes that are the most persistent and disruptive.

For many people living with depression, treatment brings relief over time. But for others, the symptoms remain — heavy, persistent, and disruptive — even after trying medications, therapy, or both.

For some, social interactions are effortless. For others, they can feel overwhelming, even frightening. Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) goes far beyond shyness — it’s a daily struggle that affects how people show up in the world.

What Is an Acute Psychotic Episode?

For people living with schizophrenia, there can be long stretches of stability — but sometimes, symptoms return suddenly and powerfully. These surges are known as acute psychotic episodes.
