Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelics for Treating Anosmia
Olfactory dysfunction (OD) has become increasingly prevalent since the COVID-19 pandemic, yet effective treatments remain limited. In recent years, anecdotal reports have emerged on the potential benefits of serotonergic psychedelics (lysergic acid diethylamide [LSD], psilocybin, etc.) in improving OD. To date, only one case series in the medical literature has documented this phenomenon. This study aimed to explore the potential therapeutic effe…
Therapeutic Potential of Psilocybin for Treating Neuropsychiatric Long Covid Symptoms
Long COVID lacks effective pharmaceutical treatment options. Psychedelic treatment for long COVID has received attention given anecdotal reports of neuropsychiatric symptom improvement. This study investigates the use of psilocybin for neuropsychiatric long COVID symptoms, examining online accounts of individuals with reported long COVID using psilocybin. We searched the Reddit communities, "r/LongCovid," and "r/covidlonghaulers" for terms, "psil…
Psychiatric Residents’ Perspectives on Psychedelics and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
This study evaluated the attitudes, knowledge, and educational experiences of psychiatry residents regarding psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT). In 2023, we distributed an anonymous survey to United States psychiatry residents, assessing demographics, knowledge, and opinions on psychedelics/PAT. The survey also included items asking respondents to retrospectively self-report how strongly psychedelic-related work and educational o…
Preexisting Psychiatric Conditions as Risk Factors for Diagnosed Long Covid-19 Syndrome Within Aggregated Electronic Health Record Data
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of long COVID diagnosis among patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with preexisting psychiatric conditions versus those without preexisting psychiatric conditions. METHODS: The TriNetX Analytics platform, an aggregated electronic health record research network containing the deidentified electronic health record data of more than 90 million patients, was qu…
Hypertensive Emergency Secondary to Combining Psilocybin Mushrooms, Extended Release Dextroamphetamine-Amphetamine, and Tranylcypromine
Data on medication interactions with psychedelics are limited. Here we present what may be the first published report of a hypertensive emergency following the combination of psilocybin mushrooms with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). A 42-year-old man with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder took 1 g of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, while prescribed tranylcypromine, extended-release dextroamphetamine-amphetamine, and other medicati…
LSD use in the United States
BackgroundLysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) use has risen in the United States in recent years amid increased interest in therapeutic applications of psychedelics. Despite this, contemporary epidemiological investigations of LSD users are few. To expand the literature on this topic, we sought to characterize past-year LSD users in the United States and investigate recent demographic evolution within this population.MethodsUsing National Survey on …
Three Cases of Reported Improvement in Microsmia and Anosmia Following Naturalistic Use of Psilocybin and LSD
Cultural awareness of anosmia and microsmia has recently increased due to their association with COVID-19, though treatment for these conditions is limited. A growing body of online media claims that individuals have noticed improvement in anosmia and microsmia following classic psychedelic use. We report what we believe to be the first three cases recorded in the academic literature of improvement in olfactory impairment after psychedelic use. I…
An Analysis of Benzodiazepine Prescribing to Primary Care Patients in a Large Healthcare System from 2019-2020
We sought to quantify benzodiazepine prescribing by primary care providers from 2019 to 2020 and identify correlates of prescribing. We hypothesized prescribing would increase post-COVID-19 lockdown. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with primary care visits in 2019 or 2020 in a large Ohio healthcare system. Demographics, diagnosis codes, and receipt of benzodiazepine prescriptions were collected. Using multivariable log…

Bibliometric Analysis of Academic Journal Articles Reporting Results of Psychedelic Clinical Studies
Following a decades long period of investigational dormancy, there is renewed interest in employing psychedelics as psychiatric treatments. The academic journals, institutions, and countries that have helped sustain clinical psychedelic research and the evolution of the literature on clinical studies of psychedelics have only recently begun to be investigated. To expand upon this work, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of clinical studies of 5…
Psychedelic Knowledge and Opinions in Psychiatrists at Two Professional Conferences
Despite resurgent interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy, our insights into psychiatrists' knowledge and opinions about medicinal psychedelic applications are surprisingly narrow. Therefore, we anonymously surveyed psychiatrists attending psychedelic didactic presentations at two national meetings about these issues using a 26-item questionnaire. Response rate was 40.20% (106/264). Respondents were 41.73 ± 13.31 years old (range: 24-80) and 64.…
