When is psychedelic therapy appropriate, and when is it not?

Psychedelic therapy (once it is considered medical treatment) can be suitable for various mental conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and addictions. Which psychedelic is suitable depends on the nature of the request for help, medication use, and the client's health.

However, there are also situations in which psychedelic therapy is not recommended. This may be the case if someone has a history of psychosis, serious heart problems, or if there are other medical contraindications. Furthermore, the use of various medications cannot be combined with various psychedelic substances. It is crucial to undergo a thorough screening, such as an intake and neurotransmitter test, to determine whether someone is suitable for this therapy and what preparation is required.

In addition, it is important that the person feels mentally and emotionally prepared for the session, as psychedelic experiences can be intense.
