Psychedelic therapy in individuals with eating disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Conventional psychedelics have the potential to exhibit transdiagnostic effectiveness by engaging in many pathways that are pertinent to the pathophysiology of eating disorders. The demand for PAT is considerable, as are the attempts to make it more widely available. Early clinical studies are focusing on determining the effectiveness and usefulness of this therapy for eating disorders, although safety is yet unknown. Recent research indicates that Psychodynamic Art Therapy (PAT) may have the capacity to enhance the effectiveness of existing therapies for this challenging and resistant condition. The current body of evidence supporting the use of PAT for individuals with eating disorders is limited in terms of its quality and validity. Therefore, our objective was to do a comprehensive review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of PAT, using the existing data.
