Summary

This study aimed to see if very low, non-hallucinogenic doses of psilocybin could reduce demoralization—feelings of hopelessness and meaninglessness—in adults. Researchers planned to give microdoses to 0 participants and measure changes in mood and thinking. However, the study was withdrawn before any volunteers were enrolled, so no results are available.
