Psychedelics may better treat depression and anxiety symptoms than prescription antidepressants for patients with advanced cancer

Retrieved on: 
Monday, April 17, 2023

In people with advanced cancer, psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, LSD and MDMA may significantly reduce the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms.

Key Points: 
  • In people with advanced cancer, psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, LSD and MDMA may significantly reduce the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms.
  • However, current research suggests that available prescription antidepressants do not significantly decrease depressive symptoms in cancer patients compared with a placebo.
  • My team and I recently completed a meta-analysis of five clinical trials examining anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with advanced forms of cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Psychedelics and trauma

    • People who develop PTSD from military service or physical or sexual violence commonly experience depression and anxiety.
    • Based on this research, my team and I hypothesize that psychedelic sessions might have an advantage over traditional prescription antidepressants for patients with cancer-related depression or anxiety because it may help them deal with their underlying trauma.
    • Patients stated that the psychedelic sessions helped them process the intense feelings they were repressing without being overwhelmed.

Unknowns in psychedelic therapy

    • A number of the advanced cancer studies we examined included people with a history of psychedelic use.
    • People with prior positive recreational psychedelic experiences may be more likely to participate in these studies than those who experienced a “bad trip” or were opposed to recreational drugs altogether.
    • Additionally, even though the placebo was made to look identical, it is unlikely that patients or caregivers were fooled if it did not elicit a psychedelic effect.

Next steps for psychedelics

    • More research is needed on effectiveness of psychedelics to treat anxiety and depression in cancer patients.
    • Exploring psychedelic treatments for patients with other life-threatening diseases that cause trauma, anxiety or depression could clarify their potential therapeutic benefits.
    • Were the Food and Drug Administration to approve psychedelics for this kind of use, the agency would need to figure out how these psychedelics can be used legally.
