Scientists have discovered an amazing way to calm an anxious mind

Generalized anxiety disorder affects millions, often trapping patients in cycles of fear and isolation that are barely alleviated by conventional medications. At the University of California, San Francisco, neuroscientist Jennifer Mitchell is testing a pharmaceutical form of LSD called MM120, which has shown surprising results in reducing symptoms by promoting neuroplasticity and alleviating rigid thought patterns. In clinical trials, a single dose significantly outperformed standard treatments, giving hope to those who had found little relief elsewhere.
