LSD may “harmonize” your brain and help recover from mental illness

“I feel that… we generally tend to label and marginalise mental illness instead of seeing it as a rather normal reaction to extreme and abnormal circumstances,” Atasoy added in his interview with PsyPost.

A study published in Scientific Reports says that lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) may be capable of “harmonizing” your brain and helping people recover from mental illness. The study, led by Selen Atasoy from Pompeu Fabra University in Spain, used a mathematical method to analyze connectome-harmonic decomposition, brain activity induced by LSD … It suggests that psychedelic substances like LSD encourage the brain to develop patterns of activity, which may help recovery from disordered connections caused by mental illness. This process slowed down as the effectsd of LSD wore off, but some degree of reorganization remained.
