Scientists discover a surprising way to quiet the anxious mind

Generalized anxiety disorder affects millions, often trapping sufferers in cycles of fear and isolation that conventional medications barely relieve. At UCSF, neuroscientist Jennifer Mitchell is testing a pharmaceutical form of LSD called MM120, which has shown striking results in reducing symptoms by promoting neuroplasticity and easing rigid thought patterns. In clinical trials, a single dose significantly outperformed standard treatments, offering hope to those who have found little relief elsewhere.

    Capping rents to a reasonable price while at the same time adjusting minimum wage to follow inflation rates on a yearly basis also does wonders for anxiety BTW

        Oh no worries, I’ve had constant existential dread and the fear of death following my every waking moment since I was 12, with sleeplessness to boot.

    a pharmaceutical form of LSD…

    So, there’s real, therapeutic uses for drugs Big Pharma has lobbied for years to keep illegal? And, it looks like they might be on board if they can make bank off it? Who would’a thunk it?

        I never thought about the amount of LSD to the size of the container. That was like 100% LSD juice.

    Huh, I wonder if the fact that I dropped acid a few times at the stage of my life where I was starting anxiety meds and doing CBT was a factor in their success
