* Able to identify a next of kin who is willing and able to be reached by the investigators in case of emergency
* Have successfully discontinued all prohibited medications at least two weeks prior to baseline visit. For fluoxetine (Prozac), immediate cessation at screening period visit 1a followed by at least four weeks of run-in will be required prior to baseline

Exclusion Criteria

* Current or past history of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or any other form of psychotic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, or any other significant disorder as assessed by clinician judgement and a structured clinical interview (MINI 7.0.2)

* Significant suicide risk as defined by (1) suicidal ideation as endorsed on items 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS within the past year, during screening or at baseline, or; (2) suicidal behaviours within the past year, or; (3) history of serious suicide attempt that required a rescuing medical intervention, or; (4) clinical assessment of significant suicidal risk during participant interview
* Current (within the last year) alcohol or substance use disorder as informed by DSM-5 assessed via the MINI 7.0.2 at screening

* Exposure to 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), psilocybin, or any other psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), or peyote in the past year
