Are we excited about psychedelics because we are excited about psychedelics, or are we projecting our dreams onto this field from a place of deep dissatisfaction with existing psychiatry?

Some more big news from @ghresearch_plc yesterday. n=81 phase 2b in TRD.
57.5% in remission at day 8! After a 15minute psychedelic experience with good medical care but no formal therapy. 77.8% getting to remission with repeat dosing. Game changing?!

Some seriously exciting results available from our recent #postpartumdepression trial using #psychedelics.
It was such a pleasure to work with the folk @ghresearch_plc. They are a great bunch... expect some great things in this space in the future ;-)

Why are we not prioritising intercalated degrees for med students? We are going to lose something important here.

According to dynamical systems, psychiatric disorders can be seen as energy landscapes with peaks and valleys. OCD has deep valleys where neural activity gets stuck, while schizophrenia has shallow valleys that let neural activity roam too freely, connecting unrelated ideas.
Oh my goodness, we won first prize!!!
Huge kudos to Bethan who has worked so hard on this project. So important that we listen carefully to our patients as we slowly edge forward in the #psychedelic field.

IMO there should NEVER be a role for "enforcing" psychedelic treatments in psychiatry. See 1:14:51 below youtu.be/WHPxxVjwy8g?si=tLSY…

Predictors of this effect included:
-Personality trait 'agreeableness' (previously linked to mystical experience on psychedelics)
-Frequency of psychedelic use (no surprises there... causality not established)
-Setting 'intention' before use
-DMT exposure
