Hi,

Found this resource that may be helpful.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/implications-for-psychedelicassisted-psychotherapy-functional-magnetic-resonance-imaging-study-with-psilocybin/65960EEBE9984AF5CD24F4E42449FACC

Also think it makes a really interesting point about assisting psychotherapy, which could be interesting to discuss if you have a history or applications section in your chapter.

Hi,

This is a really cool topic. Have you looked into the differences between organic psychedelics and synthetic psychedelics and what affect the two different types have on emotion? is one better than the other? Here is a link for an overview of synthetic psychedelics and their affects on the body. https://deserthopetreatment.com/synthetic-drugs/hallucinogens/ --JaydenG3 (discuss • contribs) 10:32, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey, I think you'll find this useful.

Long-term use of psychedelic drugs is associated with differences in brain structure and personality in humans: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924977X15000097

Good luck!

Suggested structure
Hi,

I noticed that there is currently limited research on how emotion is affected by psychedelics. So a good way to discuss the effects on emotion would be to indirectly discuss them by discussing their effects on condition that effect mood an emotion. For example Idell et al., (2017) proposed that "psilocybin can alleviate deleterious changes in the brain caused by chronic stress leading to restoration of homeostatic brain fibrinolytic capacity leading to euthymia." This touches on how increases in BDNF levels increase in the hippocampus can decrease the stress hormone level of those with depression. You could talk about how this decrease in stress hormone expression would impact the emotional experience of those with depression. Similarly Patra, (2016) discusses psilocybin can be used to treat those with treatment resistant depression, you may be able to discuss how the removal of depression will effect them emotionally.

Patra, S. (2016). Return of the psychedelics: Psilocybin for treatment resistant depression. Asian Journal Of Psychiatry, 24, 51-52. doi: 10.1016/j.ajp.2016.08.010

Idell, R., Florova, G., Komissarov, A., Shetty, S., Girard, R., & Idell, S. (2017). The fibrinolytic system: A new target for treatment of depression with psychedelics. Medical Hypotheses, 100, 46-53. doi: 10.1016/j.mehy.2017.01.013

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Awesome work so far. Know that it's getting late, but thought an interesting thing that you may want to include may be how culture shapes the experience of psychodelics.
