The research and use of psychedelic medicines to treat common mental health disorders has increased substantially in the past 2 decades. At the same time, knowledge is relatively uncommon among midwives regarding (1) the relative benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy, (2) best practices associated with the delivery of psychedelic-assisted therapy, and (3) responsible integration of this potentially useful intervention into mental health treatment plans. The purpose of this review is to describe current applications of psychedelic medicines to treat common mental health disorders, to describe the current legal status of these medicines used in this context, and to explore the potential for midwifery practice in this area with further training. This article also addresses the disparities regarding LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC populations in relation to this topic and their historical exclusion from research and treatment access in this field.
在过去的 20 年中,使用迷幻药物治疗常见心理健康障碍的研究和使用大幅增加。与此同时,助产士对于(1)迷幻辅助治疗的相对益处、(2)与迷幻辅助治疗相关的最佳实践以及(3)将这种潜在有用的干预措施负责任地纳入心理健康治疗计划的知识相对较少。本综述的目的是描述迷幻药物治疗常见心理健康障碍的当前应用,描述在这种情况下使用这些药物的当前法律地位,并探讨进一步培训后在该领域进行助产实践的可能性。本文还讨论了与 LGBTQIA+和 BIPOC 人群相关的这一主题的差异,以及他们在该领域的研究和治疗机会中被历史上排除在外的情况。
