The therapeutic potential of ayahuasca in depression, generalized anxiety, and substance use disorders: modulation of the depressive burden in a longitudinal study

We concluded that the final variability in responses suggests that psychodynamic and clinical factors, such as the integration of the psychedelic experience and therapeutic support, play a crucial role in treatment effectiveness. This study contributes to the consolidation of psychedelic-assisted therapeutic protocols, highlighting the importance of continuous and personalized follow-up in the treatment of complex psychiatric conditions.

Abstract

We concluded that the final variability in responses suggests that psychodynamic and clinical factors, such as the integration of the psychedelic experience and therapeutic support, play a crucial role in treatment effectiveness. This study contributes to the consolidation of psychedelic-assisted therapeutic protocols, highlighting the importance of continuous and personalized follow-up in the treatment of complex psychiatric conditions.
