Psilocybin-assisted therapy improved spiritual well-being in up to 57% of patients at 6 months, with 52% ranking the experience among the most meaningful of their lives. Effects were dose-dependent and strongly linked to improved quality of life, including greater acceptance of illness, reduced distress, and increased life satisfaction. These benefits can persist for months to years, helping patients process death and improve emotional well-being during serious illness.
