Psychedelic Renaissance: the emerging drug boom in mental health

Psychedelic therapy is understood to harness a therapeutic window opened up by the brain effects of the drugs to facilitate insight and emotional release and, with psychotherapeutic support, a subsequent healthy revision of outlook and lifestyle. In America, Oregon is legalizing mushrooms. Ketamine can be delivered to your home and people are micro dosing LSD to treat pandemic-related anxiety. Dr Martin Williams is a research fellow formerly in pharmaceutical sciences and now in psychology at Monash University. His interests in psychology and pharmacology have led him towards the multidisciplinary study of psychoactive compounds and their roles in contemporary society. In today’s episode, we explore the psychedelic renaissance and how we can harness these to treat and support  mental health.  Show Notes: Four Sigmatic’s mushroom coffee is real organic, Fair-Trade coffee, with Lion’s Mane mushroom for productivity, and Chaga mushroom for immune support.
