In recent years, innovative discoveries have expanded the scope of mental health treatment options beyond traditional therapies, providing clinically backed, patient-centered ways to improve mental wellness. Psychedelic treatments are emerging as a promising therapy for various mental health conditions. New research has illuminated the potential of these substances to facilitate psychological breakthroughs. While psychedelic-assisted therapy is not yet available at Viking Psychiatry, we are excited about the profound healing power of these substances. Our providers have received certifications that will allow us to offer these services as they become available.
Psychedelic treatment involves the use of controlled psychedelic substances to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and substance use disorders. These substances, when administered and carefully monitored in a clinical setting, have proven to help people heal deep-seated emotional wounds, foster personal growth, and restore mental balance.
Once condemned by society, psychedelic treatments are now being recognized for their ability to provide profound, lasting symptom relief for those struggling with these mental health conditions. They have proven particularly effective in those who have not responded well to other treatments. These drugs can be used in conjunction with talk therapy to facilitate deep and empathetic dialogues that allow clients to confront and process traumas.
Our dedicated team is excited about the potential for psychedelic treatments to offer profound healing. Reach out to Viking Psychiatry in Fort Wayne to learn more about your options and whether psychedelic treatments could be a good option for you with one of our preferred providers.
Certain substances have proven to be more suited for medical intervention than others. Some of the treatments with the most clinical data to support their therapeutic power include MDMA, psilocybin, and MDO.
MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, is a powerful stimulant that can alter mood and perception, enhance emotional connection, and reduce fear. This combination encourages openness and fosters therapeutic exploration of thoughts and behaviors.
Psilocybin is the most popular drug used for psychedelic treatment. It is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms. A growing body of research shows psilocybin’s potential to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and more. Multiple studies have found that psilocybin reduced depression and anxiety symptoms in about 80 percent of participants after just one week of treatment.
While psychedelic mental health treatment can offer life-changing healing power for many, it is not right for everyone. Good candidates will be 18 or older with a desire and readiness to transform their mental health. Usually, ideal candidates will already have tried other mental health treatments without success.
The best way to know if you will be a candidate for psychedelic treatment is by scheduling an initial consultation with a trusted clinician. They will ask you questions about your medical and psychiatric history, and form an idea of your mental health concerns and goals for treatment. Certain medications may interact with psychedelics, so it is important to fully disclose all medications you are taking.
Psychedelic treatments are revolutionizing the way we approach mental health. Psychedelic-assisted therapy has a significant capacity for healing, offering a profound journey of self-reflection and personal development.
