Most psychedelic drugs has the potential to help with anxiety and depression since they overflood you with seratonin.
I remember one of my teachers talked about how psychedelic drugs where often discussed amongst psychologist and how it could be a good idea for depressed patients since they allow you to ''kill your ego'', this was of course under controlled dose/environment.
But the problem is people who use it by themselves and take quite a lot, the possibility of hallucinations can make it worse and the backlash when the trip is over can make you more tired and depressed for a few days.
That's my first XTC experience right there.
On the other side of the spectrum, I know burnouts who live from weekend to weekend, stay awake for 72+ hours and are afraid to go out of the house and do groceries.
MDMA is used in very small dosages to combat postnatal depression.
