There’s no question that the recent pandemic sparked a mental health crisis throughout the United States, which means people around the country are considering new treatment approaches, such as psychedelic therapy for depression and other mental health diagnoses.
It’s reported that depression and/or anxiety symptoms are up as much as 25% and continue to climb. While anti-depressants and talk therapy are helpful to treat depressive symptoms, they don’t work in every case. Psychedelic therapy may be your answer for relief.
What is Psychedelic Therapy for Depression?
Psychedelic therapy is an emerging trend in mental health care offered at a limited number of treatment centers throughout the United States. In 2020, Relief Mental Health launched the use of psychedelic therapy to treat people struggling with depression, and the results are remarkable.
