A study last week published in JAMA looked to evaluate the use of LSD can be efficacious in treating moderate to severe generalized anxiety disorder and the results were potentially very exciting. New treatments for the disorder are desperately needed as the illness affects approximately 10% of US adults and up to 50% of people do not adequately respond to first line treatments, which are SSRIs. Other medications like benzodiazepines are limited by abuse potential and tolerance which make them very poor choices for daily treatment.
