Suggested Reading and Viewing
This is a really exciting topic!! Can I suggest you read a book by Michael Pollan called "How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics" ( I have a copy that you can have a lend of, my details can be found on my user page). Also too, have a listen to ABC All in the Mind: Psychedelics, Addiction and Mental Health (aired 24 Feb 2019). Good luck with this topic, I think you'll find it very interesting! --NUMBLA0371 (discuss • contribs) 00:09, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

If you need to conciser some of the negative effects of psychedelics this study found "reductions in reported levels of depression and stress; lower levels of distractibility; increased absorption; and increased neuroticism"

Hey there, what an interesting topic, I cant wait to read more about your research. I believe it may be of intret for you that I am currently writing my book chapter on Ayahuasca and Emotion and its emerging therapeutic use (including on addiction). As oour topics have quite a lot of cross over, you may want to include my page in the "see more" section of your page. Good luck and look forward to seeing your page develop!

Discussion point
Hi,

I really enjoyed reading your chapter. Your structure and content is very well presented, interactive and interesting ! I would like to bring up a discussion point:

You discussed that psychedelic treatment for addiction could be a great motivator in the treatment of addiction however, I encourage you to consider genetic predispositions to drug induced psychotic disorder which is commonly triggered by psychedelic use. I think that it would be really important to rule out a history of schizophrenia before implementing this type of therapy. Iv have attached a source that explains this in more detail. I would love to hear your thoughts on this :)
