How Psychedelics affect Serotonin - Professor David Nutt on the New Science of Psychedelic therapy.
Professor David Nutt, is of the world's leading Neuropsychopharmacologists, and has spent 15 years researching this field and it is his most significant body of work to date. In 2018, he co-founded the first academic psychedelic research centre - underpinned by his mission to provide evidence-based information for people everywhere. We are on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience. After fifty years of prohibition, criminalisation and fear, science is finally showing us that psychedelics are not dangerous or harmful. Instead, when used according to tested, safe and ethical guidelines, they are our most powerful newest treatment of mental health conditions, from depression, PTSD, and OCD to disordered eating and even addiction and chronic pain. At a time where there is an enormous amount of noise around the benefits of psychedelics, Professor Nutt joins us to dispense the knowledge you need to know about a drug that is about to go mainstream, free from the hot air.
