Episode Synopsis

We’re live in New Orleans for the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting, the world’s premiere psychiatric event. In today’s episode, host, Stephen Horn, caught up with Dr. James Potash and Dr. Roland Griffiths to take a look at the very latest research into psychedelics. Psychedelics have long been a source of fascination for psychiatrists – but despite early research into their effect on mental health conditions in the 50s and 60s, efforts tailed off in the following decades. But new evidence has led to a resurgence in psychedelics research with suggestions that they could help with depression, anxiety, and even addiction.
