MAPS: Re: OCD treatment

[David <dhe@xxxxxxxxx>]

On Sun, 10 Jan 1999, Amber Bambi the Smog Monster went:

> I was wondering if anyone knew of a successful treatment of OCD (Obsessive
> Compulsive Disorder) through alternate medicine, i.e. Ibogaine, LSD,
> Psylocybin etc.

Only in the form of case reports--nothing controlled:

 Moreno FA and Delgado PL.  Hallucinogen-induced relief of obsessions and
 compulsions [letter].  American Journal of Psychiatry 154(7):
 1037-1038, 1997.

Or, if you prefer:

 Shannahoff-Khalsa DS and Beckett LR.  Clinical case report: efficacy of
 yogic techniques in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorders.
 International Journal of Neuroscience 85: 1-17, 1996.
