This is presenting psychedelics as a kind of cure-all for a variety of things that seem unrelated on its surface: anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, trauma, depression, etc. I would argue we are treating symptoms and not figuring out the causes behind these illnesses such that a single drug treats all of them.<p>I would also note that there are glaring holes: There's no research on sensory issues with psychedelic therapy, something that has co-morbidity with a variety of these disorders which will make treatment more difficult. Psychotic depression, bipolar whose manic symptoms enter psychosis, delusional thinking common in anxiety/depression/eating disorders, and sensory distortions common in PTSD/eating disorders...<p>I would temper my excitement about this until we can prove either why it works or the specific situations it works in, which I suspect will be far less than the cure-all it's being presented as here. It reminds me of immunotherapy, stem cell treatment, etc.
