Research summary

Nathan D. Sepeda studies the psychological effects of psychedelic substances, particularly psilocybin, examining how they affect mental health, spirituality, and behavior both in controlled clinical trials and in naturalistic (real-world) use settings. His work often uses surveys and psychometric tools (questionnaires designed to measure subjective experiences like mystical or ego-dissolution states) to track outcomes such as mood, substance use, and shame/guilt over time. This research is relevant to students interested in clinical psychology, drug policy, or the therapeutic potential of psychedelics.
