So it’s a serotonin releasing agent that has psychedelic effects?

MDMA is both a serotonin releasing agent and a psychedelic off the top of my mind.

It's a strange question to lead the article because high levels of serotonin can cause hallucinations and will cause serotonin syndrome. We don't all have serotonin syndrome because the homeostatis of neutrotransmitters is tightly controlled.

Reply to comment by Im_Talking in Mindfulness-based attention training vastly improves the focus and emotional regulation of high school students by TimTars
That study was for mental health and this one is focus and emotional regulation. The British mental health study had very poor adherance and many students thought it was boring as well with an average number of mindfullness sessions at 1 over the 10 week period while the US study only measured those that completed the training.
