Abstract in brief

Psilocybin, a psychoactive compound found in hallucinogenic mushrooms, has been used for centuries in religious and cultural practices and is now gaining attention as a potential treatment for mood and substance use disorders.
Clinical evidence suggests that psilocybin-assisted therapy may help reduce depression, anxiety, and harmful drinking, with mild and transient side effects; however, serious adverse events are rare but require further investigation.
As some US states legalize psilocybin for medical and recreational use, healthcare providers need to understand its benefits and risks to advise patients accurately, with ongoing research needed to identify the best candidates for this therapy.]
