A new study protocol explores psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and anorexia nervosa, three highly resistant and debilitating conditions. The trial uses an open-label design with psychoeducation, non-directive therapy, and long-term follow-up, aiming to improve emotional regulation, insight, and well-being where conventional treatments often fail.
