Let's just say which is like OCD depression chronic anxiety anorexia nervosa Which are all characterized in a sense by a certain looping and rigidity Which is part of the reason why I think psychedelics are mysteriously

They're on this rigidity side.
I think classical psychedelics can be very, very helpful for that side of things.
Then on the other side of the river, you've got, let's just call it a more chaotic constellation of disorders, which would include schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder,
