A small mushroom sculpture at Numinus Wellness Inc. illustrates the work being done at the psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy clinic in Draper.As medical professionals with decades of experience treating mental health disorders, we have seen firsthand the struggles faced by those who suffer from these conditions. Recently, research supporting the use of psychedelic medications as a safe and effective treatment for various mental disorders has grown. We — Dr. David Sundwall, a former U.S.
Psilocybin, the active compound found in “magic mushrooms,” has received significant attention in recent years. It is nonaddictive, and its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in studies involving depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Consequently, 29 states have already passed or proposed legislation to study, make available, or decriminalize psilocybin for clinical use.
Employ a thorough approach to educating the public and policymakers in a process that includes open discussion and dialogue. This will be important as this initiative moves forward. Embracing psilocybin for clinical care may be viewed as a bold step, but the potential benefits for the mental health of Utah’s citizens are too great to ignore. We call upon the public and policymakers to carefully consider the evidence, engage in open dialogue, and work together to create a path forward that ensures safe and effective mental health care for all Utahns.
