The use od Psychedelics has always been a controversial issue. However, in some cases psychedelics are necessary.

Many people do not have clear idea about what are psychedelics. Psychedelics are substances that alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes, often leading to profound emotional and psychological experiences. Once seen as a controversial and taboo subject, psychedelics are now being revisited in the field of therapy, showing promising results for conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:
🔹 What psychedelics are and how they work on the brain
🔹 The science behind their therapeutic potential
🔹 The challenges and controversies surrounding their use in therapy
