As follow-up studies expand the research to multiple doses and larger samples, scientists are eyeing a possible new standard of care that merges psychedelics with psychological support.

Maybe this is just a shitty article with a shitty headline from a shitty publication, but I think I’d really rather see the science than here. Some idiots sales pitch summary for it.
