Mental Health Crisis Goes Code Red in America – Psychedelics Market Could Reach Over $10 Billion by 2028

Psychedelics primarily act on the brain’s serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor. This interaction can lead to profound changes in perception and mood, which may facilitate therapeutic breakthroughs in patients who have not responded to conventional treatments. Research suggests that psychedelics can promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and enhance emotional processing, making them valuable tools in psychotherapy.
