Predictors of psychedelic treatment outcomes among special operations forces veterans

This prospective study (n=86) examined the effects of ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT treatment on U.S. Special Operations Forces Veterans with trauma exposure. Younger age and higher baseline levels of depression and anxiety were correlated with significant improvements in mental and psychosocial outcomes from baseline to 1-month follow-up. Greater intensity of changes in consciousness was linked to improved long-term mental health and psychosocial outcomes up to 6 months post-treatment.

States and traits related to the quality and consequences of psychedelic experiences

This retrospective survey (n=143) of Amazon Mechanical Turk participants who self-administered psilocybin identifies factors related to mystical experiences (MEs) and challenging experiences. The study finds a state of surrender predicts MEs, while preoccupation predicts challenging experiences, explaining 66% and 56% of the variance in ME and dread scores, respectively. Mystical experiences during the session also relate to long-term positive changes.
