Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects millions of people worldwide — from combat veterans and first responders to survivors of abuse, accidents, and chronic trauma. Traditional treatments, like cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants, can help, but many individuals continue to suffer despite years of effort. That’s why researchers are turning to an unexpected ally: psychedelics.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, humanity has been ushered into what many might call a "new normal," a period marked by profound shifts in our way of life and, notably, in our collective mental health. The psychological aftermath of the pandemic, compounded by other life-altering events, has spotlighted an undeniable crisis: a dramatic surge in mental health issues, burdening an already overwhelmed and antiquated mental health treatment system. Traditional treatments for conditions like addiction, anxiety, depression, and PTSD have remained largely unchanged for decades, sparking a crucial conversation about the need for innovation in mental health care.
