Exploring substances like psilocybin, LSD, DMT, ayahuasca, ketamine, MDMA, and others, Gomez-Escolar looks at the multitude of scientific studies providing critical evidence for psychedelics’ ability to treat addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as their potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. He provides key information for therapists and other health practitioners as well as exploring the benefits of microdosing and the specific ways in which mental health issues related to COVID-19 could be alleviated by psychedelics. Breaking down substances by type, the author looks at the main risks of each psychedelic and its benefits, best harm-reduction strategies, and the neural pathways they affect. Gomez-Escolar also includes a large selection of resources for people seeking to engage personally with psychedelics for healing.
