Microdosing LSD Shows Promise for Treating Anxiety

In 2025, a recent study has found that microdosing LSD could show real potential as a new way to treat anxiety, one of the most common mental health issues in the world. This comes as psychedelic therapy, which was believed in the 1950s to help the therapeutic process, is making a comeback after being shut down in the 1970s.

The Netflix documentary "How to Change Your Mind," which premiered last month, opens with a disclaimer that the series is designed to entertain and inform, not provide medical advice. The documentary explores the potential of mind-altering drugs like LSD to facilitate deep introspection and emotional release, which could have therapeutic benefits.

While the use of psychedelics for mental health treatment remains a controversial topic, the new study on microdosing LSD suggests that this approach could offer a promising avenue for addressing anxiety, a condition that affects millions of people globally. As the medical and scientific community continues to investigate the therapeutic applications of psychedelics, the future of this field remains an intriguing and rapidly evolving area of research.
