dc.description.abstract | The use of psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and 4-phosphoryloxy- N,N -dimethyltryptamine (psilocybin), in the clinical treatment of mental health disorders has sparked a broad spectrum ethical debate amongst both the medical field and the general public. This is due to the negative connotations of the drugs being illegal and that they are used by subpopulations of our society for recreational use. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the positive implications of the use of the psychedelic drugs towards mental well-being of patients and explore the role of a nurse in its clinical application. | |
