Decision tool

Which psychedelic therapy might fit you?

Five questions. We match your goals, medical considerations, and legal constraints against what each therapy's evidence base and access landscape actually supports in 2026.

Educational only, not medical advice. This tool is a research orientation aid. Answers stay in your browser; we do not log them. A medical evaluation with a licensed clinician is the appropriate next step before pursuing any therapy surfaced by this quiz — including ones that are legally accessible, like ketamine.
1. What are you most hoping to address?

Pick the closest match. The evidence bases for each therapy differ a lot by indication.

2. How far are you willing to go for legal access?

Most psychedelics remain Schedule I federally. Access options depend heavily on how flexible you are on location.

3. What session format fits your life?

Session length correlates with pharmacology, not preference. Some molecules simply last longer.

4. How important is insurance coverage?

Only one psychedelic-adjacent therapy is frequently covered by US insurance today.

5. Do any of these apply to you? (Select all that apply)

Some therapies are contraindicated by specific medical or psychiatric history. This filters those out.

Frequently asked

Is this medical advice?

No. This quiz is an educational orientation tool. It is not medical advice and it does not substitute for a consultation with a licensed clinician. If you are considering any psychedelic therapy — including ones that are legally accessible, like ketamine — a medical evaluation is the appropriate starting point.

I have a heart condition. Which therapies should I avoid?

Ibogaine has the clearest cardiac contraindication profile and should not be considered without a pre-screen EKG and cardiology consult. Ketamine, MDMA, and classical psychedelics all raise blood pressure acutely and are relatively contraindicated in uncontrolled hypertension or recent cardiovascular events. Discuss with a cardiologist before proceeding with any of these.

I am currently taking an SSRI. Does that matter?

Yes, significantly. SSRIs (and SNRIs) reduce or block the effects of classical psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, and ayahuasca because they act on the same 5-HT2A receptor system. MDMA additionally has serotonin-syndrome concerns with SSRIs. Ketamine, which acts on a different receptor system, is less affected by SSRI use. Any reputable facilitator or prescribing clinician will ask about your regimen.

I have a personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar I. What now?

Classical psychedelics (psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT) are contraindicated in people with a personal history of psychotic disorders, and caution is strongly advised with a first-degree family history of schizophrenia or bipolar I. Published research trials exclude these populations, so we have no safety data to offer. This quiz does not recommend classical psychedelics in these cases.
