A recent study published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry provides new insight into the impact of psychedelic retreats on older adults.
Serotonergic psychedelics, like psilocybin, LSD, and DMT, have shown promise in treating affective symptoms in various disorders.
However, older adults have been largely excluded from psychedelic research, and the safety and efficacy of these treatments for this age group remain uncertain.
Study found that subjective psychedelic effects did not seem to predict well-being changes in older adults.
Instead, the feeling of togetherness with others emerged as the only significant predictor of changes.
This suggests that the social and relational aspects of the retreat experience may be particularly beneficial for older adults, who often face social isolation and loneliness.
