Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder characterized by extreme food restriction, excessive exercise, and/or purging through methods like laxatives and vomiting. It has the highest mortality rate among psychiatric conditions. Lead author Dr. Stephanie Knatz Peck from the University of California, San Diego, stated, "Our findings suggest that psilocybin may help facilitate meaningful psychological change in some individuals with anorexia nervosa."
"We've been on this road a long time, 30 years on and off, and I've never seen her this bad. I'm frightened that I'll die and she'll have no one to support her. I don't want her to go through any of this alone," Sue said.
