Brief Summary:
This study aims to study the feasibility of psilocybin therapy for patients with Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with depressed mood. The secondary objective is to assess its impact on depression, quality of life, hopelessness, and functional status in this patient population.
Detailed Description:
The proposed research's primary objective is to study the feasibility of psilocybin therapy for patients with ALS with depressed mood. The secondary objective is to assess its impact on depression, quality of life, hopelessness, and functional status in this patient population. The proposed proof-of-concept interventional trial will use a single-arm design. The study will be an open-label trial in a sample of up to 24 treatment-seeking patients with a diagnosis of ALS and depressed mood. Participants will complete an 8-week course of study treatment including two psilocybin sessions (15 mg in week 4 and 15 or 25 mg in week 6), with follow-up assessments 1, 3, and 6 months after the final psilocybin session.
