Psychedelics can treat anxiety and depression, but there's a catch

I’ve read that LSD interferes with the communication between cortexes, separating functions like hindbrain derived anxiety from the more consciousness manifesting systems in the forebrain, resulting in adjusted thought processes and hallucinations.

The trouble is that the effect is semi-random, and there’s almost no research into the mechanics of the drug.

Unlike those horrid opiates.
