Can psychedelic therapy reduce the mental health impacts of the coronavirus pandemic?

BY MORGAN CAMPBELL SPECIAL TO THE SACRAMENTO BEE

Pandemic strikes mean physical illness for many and trauma for all. The 2003 SARS outbreak led to terrifying increases in depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among caregivers, those quarantined and people affected in other ways. How can we prepare for the mental health impact of the coronavirus pandemic?

To address the inevitable spike of mental illnesses, we must hasten the approval of new evidence-based medications for depression and PTSD. These include the psychedelic compounds MDMA and psilocybin.

Twenty years of trials for psilocybin, and 10 years for MDMA, show that they outperform currently approved medications for depression and PTSD.
