This presentation provides a
brief, clinically focused overview of psychedelics and their emerging relevance
to eating disorder treatment. Proposed mechanisms, including effects on
cognitive rigidity, self-concept, and emotional processing, will be reviewed
alongside a high-level summary of the current evidence. Practical
considerations such as safety risks, patient selection, developmental issues,
and how to respond to patient inquiries will be emphasized. The goal is to
equip clinicians with a balanced, evidence-informed framework for discussing
psychedelics in eating disorder care.
