I've always wondered if one dose of LSD could have been responsible for a fundamental change in my mind. There were other things of course going on in those college years, but I can say wth certainty that I became a very different person at some point in those early to mid twenties.
It's such that I have wondered if those I know who suffer various emotional issues might not benefit from a hallucinogenic trip—perhaps a rewiring of the mind.
It may simply be that the intense disruption of a 5 hour long experience of chemically-induced novel pleasures - in people who'd long forgotten any form of enjoyment at all - while also being under special attention from caring professionals, is Very Nice Indeed. And that very nice experiences are the most direct salve that exists, when it comes to ameliorating a lifetime of unpleasant ones.
"I can say wth certainty that I became a very different person at some point in those early to mid twenties" - not to discount that, but I do suspect many developing adults (LSD or not) might make similar claims about distinct periods of mental change as they work their way into early adulthood.

Let's be fair, most people do.
