Psilocybin, MDMA or Ecstasy and even LSD are being tested as treatments for a variety of mental health ills, at top universities like Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Texas. Some are on the cusp of FDA approval. There's even a study using psilocybin (from mushrooms) to help doctors and nurses suffering from burnout! So why the excitement, and what's the downside? Alok and Sheena recap key studies, explain how these drugs affect the brain, and see what skeptics say are the biggest risks.
