Blending Virtual Reality (VR) with psychedelic therapies shows great potential for mental health treatments.
VR and psychedelics have each shown considerable capability to address mental health concerns. The possibilities in combination are even more powerful and exciting.
From the ability to reduce the pharmaceutical dose and attain the same results to guided therapies that help direct the experience these two therapeutics appear to play very well together.
It is my theory video games and psychedelics share the same or similar mechanism of action, more on that in the weeks to come…
The review study found promise in accelerating treatment of #ptsd #mdd #depression #anxiety #stress and even issues such as #weightmanagement and #ocd.
As the authors concluded, much more to learn but amazing opportunities for new and powerful therapeutics await discovery!
