Psychedelics fact sheet

This slide deck summarizes the current knowledge surrounding the use of psychedelics for the treatment of depression. Specifically, our focus centers on serotonergic psychedelics, commonly referred to as classical psychedelics. These psychedelics primarily function as agonists or partial agonists at the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A receptor).

This slide deck has been developed with Professor Gitte Moos Knudsen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and Professor David Nutt, Imperial College London, UK, and in collaboration with Cambridge (a division of Prime, Cambridge, UK).
