Trait mindfulness and personality characteristics in a microdosing ADHD sample: a naturalistic prospective survey study
Trait mindfulness, specifically description and non-judging of inner experience, was increased, and neuroticism was decreased after 4 weeks of MD compared to baseline. The remaining personality traits remained unchanged. Using conventional medication and/or having comorbid diagnoses did not change the MD-induced effects on mindfulness and personality traits after 4 weeks. Conclusion: MD induced changes in otherwise stable traits. Future placebo-controlled studies are warranted to confirm whether these changes occur in a controlled setting.

Our findings hold implications for the potential use of psychedelics for treating interpersonal elements of personality pathology as well as loneliness.
