Serotonergic hallucinogenes and their therapeutic use
Bouberl, David ; Novotný, Jiří (advisor) ; Vejmola, Čestmír (referee)
Serotonergic hallucinogens are a group of substances that induce changes in consciousness based on their affinity for some of the serotonin receptors - especially 5-HT2A. The best known substances in this group include LSD, psilocybin or mescaline. During the 1950's and 1960's, initial research into the therapeutic uses of these substances took place, but studies from this period did not meet today's methodological standards. However, the results of recent studies point to the potential therapeutic use of psilocybin or LSD in the treatment of depression / anxiety, addiction and OCD. The aim of this work is to summarize current knowledge about selected serotonergic hallucinogens, their chemical properties, mechanisms of action and especially about the possibilities of using these substances in psychotherapy.
