Summary

This study tests whether psilocybin, a psychedelic substance, can help young adults aged 18-25 with hard-to-treat anorexia nervosa. Participants receive two doses of psilocybin along with therapy sessions, and family members are also involved. The goal is to see if psilocybin increases mental flexibility and reduces eating disorder symptoms.
