Abstract
Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy alleviates anxiety and depression in people with cancer. A new pooled analysis of two phase 2 clinical trials reveals improvements in psychiatric symptoms such as interpersonal sensitivity, hostility and somatization. The treatment may therefore have a broader role as a non-specific ‘anti-distressant’.
