Is love the answer? Psilocybin trials point to yes. Researcher Mary Cosimano shares the great progress being made in the fight against PTSD, anxiety, and depression in clinical trials of guided psilocybin sessions at Johns Hopkins. The impressive results offer much hope for an effective treatment to heal hearts and minds. One key finding is the importance of love and connection. Love is literally an answer.
