In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in using psychedelics, particularly substances like psilocybin (found in certain mushrooms) and MDMA (not strictly a classic psychedelic but often included in discussions), for therapeutic purposes. Research suggests that these substances may have potential for treating various mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.
Some individuals and researchers believe that psychedelics can enhance creativity and problem-solving abilities by altering perception and cognitive processes, potentially leading to novel insights and perspectives.
