LSD is classified as a classic psychedelic because it alters perception, mood, and cognition. These effects are due to its interaction with serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly those influencing mood and perception. We believe LSD may be beneficial for the treatment of anxiety and depression because it has the potential to disrupt rigid thought patterns and promote a state of openness and emotional re-examination.

At MindMed, our dedication to advancing mental health treatment is rooted in a strong commitment to scientific rigor. As our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Dan Karlin, highlights, we ensure every discovery is validated through meticulous research. Our approach involves: 📈 Robust Clinical Trials: Conducting comprehensive trials to test the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates. 📈 Innovative Research: Leveraging advanced scientific methodologies to explore new treatment avenues. 📈 Collaborative Expertise: Partnering with leading experts and institutions to enhance the quality and impact of our research. #mentalhealth #innovation #healthcare

This week, Phong T. Duong VP, Global Market Access and Health Economics presented an analysis of retrospective study data from the 2022 US National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS) indicating that even small increases in the severity of GAD can significantly worsen the quality of life for patients living with it, suggesting a reduction in symptoms may have a meaningful impact on a patient's quality of life. These results were presented at ECNP, Europe’s premier scientific meeting for disease-oriented brain research being held this week in Milan.

Our brains are constantly evolving throughout our lives. Neuroplasticity is the functional and structural changes in the brain that occur as we form memories, habits, and skills. In treatment, neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to create, organize, and reorganize connections between neurons. Under the influence of psychedelics, the brain may show increased connectivity, including connections between areas that don’t typically have a direct connection. This process may help reverse changes resulting from negative experiences.
