Psychedelics in Clinical Therapy - Lex Fridman and Brian Muraresku

The use of psychedelics in therapy is increasing. Studies are showing promising results in improving mental health conditions like PTSD and depression. Severe emotional trauma can be undone and healed far faster with the use of psychedelics than with existing clinical drugs.

This discussion from Lex Fridman's Artificial Intelligence podcast covers how psychedelics are used in experimental clinical therapy today, and what we can expect to see in the future.

DISCLAIMER - this is not a justification for you to take psychedelics without supervision from medical professionals. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, or any other mental health condition please seek professional help. Taking psychedelics in an unsupervised environment could worsen your condition.
