Once heavily studied by psychiatrists in the 1950s and 1960s, research largely halted for decades because of legal restrictions. Today, advances in neuroscience, psychology, and brain imaging have renewed scientific interest in whether LSD—when administered in carefully controlled clinical settings—may help address certain mental health conditions.
