Abstract in brief

The review discusses the therapeutic potential of psilocybin, a psychedelic drug, highlighting that research has increased since the 1990s after a long ban in 1968 that delayed studies.
It analyzed 11 studies involving 488 patients, showing that psilocybin, often combined with psychotherapy, has beneficial effects on mental disorders with minimal serious side effects.
However, larger, more rigorous clinical trials are needed to confirm these promising results and establish psilocybin as a standard treatment option.]
