Quick Summary
In a nonrandomized placebo-controlled trial and a noncontrolled trial, the drug N,N-dimethyltryptamine (aka DMT) reduced symptoms of depression and trait neuroticism in adults at 1 to 2 weeks after administration.
What was studied?
The effects of the psychedelic drug N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) on mental health outcomes.
The primary outcomes were negative psychological factors, including depression severity, trait anxiety, and trait neuroticism; these were assessed using the Quick Inventory for Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T), and the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), respectively.
The secondary outcomes included positive psychological factors (i.e., well-being, optimism, nature-relatedness, gratitude, and meaning in life) and the acute subjective effects of DMT (e.g., peak or mystical-type experiences).
