This brief article focuses on research into psychedelics and their possible uses for anxiety disorders and OCD. While much of the emphasis of the article is on the sociological aspect of studying these things, there is content of interest for this community too.
One of the two small studies they refer to is the widely talked about Ketamine study, which apparently showed antidepressant effect. The other is one that seems less known or talked about, where apparently psilocybin was shown to be acutely effective for OCD (assumedly because of it's agonism on 5HT-2a and 2c effects, I believe)
