TOPIC: Eating Disorders & Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy: Synergies & Urgently Needed Investigations
This talk will introduce the possible applications of psychedelic-assisted therapy for adolescents and young adults with eating disorders. It will include:

- describe the neurobiological underpinnings of anorexia nervosa and how psilocybin therapy may work synergistically to influence those factors which perpetuate anorexia nervosa; and
- illustrate key elements of a clinical trial of psilocybin therapy, including opportunities for stakeholder engagement.
OBJECTIVES:
- Explain the hypothesized mechanisms of action through which psilocybin-assisted therapy might improve symptoms of anorexia nervosa.
- Summarize available research on psilocybin for patients with anorexia nervosa.
- Identify developmental considerations for psychedelic therapy in adolescent and young adult populations.
