In just a few short years, psychedelic-assisted therapy involving controlled substances like ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin have evolved from relative obscurity to the far edges of mainstream medical acceptance. Clinical studies have shown that their medical use can have positive effects for patients living with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Sometimes, these treatments prove effective where other, more widely-prescribed medications fall short.

In this case, these experiences led to positive outcomes around four-weeks after introducing the psilocybin into treatment. Higher alliance scores, or stronger relationships with therapists, correlated with longer-term psychological insights. One year after the treatments, patients who reported strong connections with their therapist also crucially provided lower self-reported depression scores one year following treatment than those who reported weaker relationships.
