Quote:

LSD could be approved for treating anxiety in the US as soon as 2027. This expectation comes after a landmark trial showed that a single dose of the psychedelic drug eased the mental health condition without severe or lasting side effects.

The trial was made up of people with moderate or severe anxiety who had tried a range of standard therapies. An approval will therefore probably apply to these groups, says Cooper. But people with milder anxiety would probably be able to access it at their doctor’s discretion, he says.
