ABSTRACT: Introduction: Recent scientific investigations have unveiled a remarkable potential of
classic psychedelics in therapeutic interventions. However, the current body of research
remains largely preliminary, existing a need for more comprehensive research to unlock
their full potential and ensure their safe and effective integration into mental health care.
Objective: This systematic review aims to assess the existing body of evidence regarding
the impact of classic psychedelics on anxiety when used in naturalistic settings. Methods:
A comprehensive literature search was conducted with no date restrictions using the
following electronic databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycInfo, and Web of
Science. Results: Out of the 1,705 articles from the initial search yielded, 11 were selected
for inclusion in this review. Conclusion: The majority of the studies included in the review
indicate a decrease in anxiety, supporting the idea that classic psychedelics, when
administered in a natural setting, effectively alleviate anxiety, even over an extended
period.
