Excited to see this piece come out: "Psychedelics and the Future of Psychiatry" Welcome to the psychedelic renaissance :) https://t.co/9wabo3kEhR @psychtimes
Editorial: Renewed interest in psychedelics for mental health requires rigorous studies to determine their standalone therapeutic potential, as shown by Robison et al.'s trial on LSD, while addressing efficacy and safety challenges.

Big news in mental health! @JAMA_current published results from MindMed’s Phase 2b study of MM120 (lysergide D-tartrate) in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) – the first randomized controlled trial of its kind for LSD in psychiatry.
More than 60 million Americans live with GAD and major depressive disorder (MDD), and far too many still struggle to find relief with existing treatments. These results mark a major milestone for psychedelic medicine and highlight the powerful potential of a new treatment option.
This isn’t just data — it’s a step toward a new era in psychiatry. We’re proud to lead the way.

A long-standing question about LSD is whether it works as a stand-alone treatment.
A phase 2 trial published in JAMA found that a single dose of MM120, a form of LSD, produced a dose-dependent reduction in anxiety.

Chief Clinical Officer of @NuminusHealth, @reidrobison, began his career as a classic pill-slingin' psychiatrist.
But a series of eye-opening experiences permanently shifted his view on mental health, and now he’s on a mission to help folks heal from the inside out.
We spoke to Reid about his windy path into psychedelic medicine, the ongoing crusade to make psychedelic therapy accessible, and some drug-free tools he uses to overcome hopelessness and despair.
Steve & I are thrilled to back a groundbreaking trial with MDMA-assisted therapy for cancer patients & their primary caregivers. This "dyad" or "couples" therapy marks a transformative step in mental health, recognizing the importance of healing the entire family/support system.
Results from our multi-site study of psilocybin-assisted therapy for MDD are live today in @JAMA_current. Psilocybin had about a 12 point MADRS advantage over niacin control at day 8 that appeared durable through 6 wk follow-up. https://t.co/oUIE9ZhplV 1/
In this study, a 25-mg dose of #psilocybin was well tolerated and may hold promise as a treatment for major depressive disorder when combined with psychological support. https://t.co/VBHc43RjH3
Roland Griffiths- Psilocybin helps:
⁃ recognize how it feels to embody the present moment
⁃ observe & let go of discomfort
⁃ transform sense of self (you are not your mind]
⁃ see that mind is capable of revealing knowledge
⁃ gain an sense of interconnectedness #PS2023
Roland Griffiths: key factors of the psychedelic experience: 1) a feeling of unity 2) a sense of sacredness/preciousness 3) the noetic quality of truth. “These set the stage for enduring positive change and reduced suffering. And good god do we need to reduce suffering” #PS2023
A much anticipated paper from Gul Dolen’s team is out today in Nature. Nardou et al. present data to support a novel hypothesis of psychedelic drug action that cuts across drug classes (i.e. “classical” 5-HT2A agonists vs. others like MDMA, ket, ibogaine). https://t.co/5ZdqppXg8F
Tomorrow I will be at @SXSW participating in the panel 'Music as Medicine: Music as a Tool for Healing.' 🎶
