Right now it seems, based on all the research I've read and the little research that I've started to do, that it appears that there is tremendous potential for them. So I think we just need to do more research and thankfully, at least in the states and elsewhere in Europe there's funding that's being put toward this, so we'll get a better sense of what's going on.
Ever wondered if psychedelics could be more than just a relic of the '60s counterculture? In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon chat with Dr. Paul Seli, a cognitive psychologist from Duke University, about the promising new research on psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD. These substances, once stigmatized, are now being studied for their potential to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. Dr.
Seli provides insights into how these drugs might work to improve mental health and the importance of using them in a controlled, therapeutic setting. The episode also touches on the profound spiritual experiences reported by many users, which can lead to a sense of interconnectedness and mental well-being. With an emphasis on safety and the need for more research, this conversation is a fascinating dive into what could be the future of mental health treatment.
