Psychiatrist Explains Psychedelics for PTSD, Depression, Anxiety – Dr. Bernardo Merizalde, MD

According to a 2020 study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, psychedelics hold promise for treating depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

However, the study also concludes that psychedelics are not currently considered suitable for widespread treatment. Nonetheless, there is a growing trend toward decriminalizing these drugs, like in California, which could potentially increase their accessibility in the future.

In the realm of clinical treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, could psychedelics provide relief in cases where other medications have been ineffective?

Dr. Bernardo Merizalde, an assistant clinical professor at the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Thomas Jefferson University, shares his experience of guiding a patient with PTSD through psychedelic treatment.

The patient, who endured a traumatic dog attack during childhood, suffered from severe social anxiety throughout adulthood.

On “Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon,” we delve into the potential benefits that psychedelics offer for treatment, as well as the risks they pose if used without caution.
