Psychedelic Breakthrough: Psilocybin Reawakens Speech in an Alzheimer’s Patient

An 80-year-old woman with long-standing Alzheimer’s who had barely spoken for years began talking 19 hours after a high-dose psilocybin session, with autobiographical memory, humor, and motor function returning for weeks. The case, published as a study, suggests potential for psychedelics in treating Alzheimer’s but is limited by being a single case and not a cure, warranting further research.
