LSD treatment in Scandinavia: emphasizing indications and short-term treatment outcomes of 151 patients in Denmark

This retrospective follow-up study (n=151) assessed the case material of 151 patients who applied for financial compensation for harms elicited by psychedelic treatments administered between 1959 to 1973 and re-evaluated in 1986. It found that one-third of the patients experienced a transient improvement in their mental state independent of the diagnosis, while the mental state of another third of the patients deteriorated with treatment.
