Disrupting Rigid Beliefs In Mental Illness with Psychedelics | Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris

🧠 Mental illness = too much order?

In this clip from my podcast with Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, we explore the radical idea behind the entropic brain hypothesis: many mental health conditions like depression, OCD, and anorexia are hyper-orderly—rigid loops of thought that become over-weighted, like “I’m unworthy” or “I need this disorder to feel valuable.”

Psychedelics disrupt this mental rigidity by introducing entropy—a healthy kind of inner chaos. That moment of uncertainty can allow new beliefs, new narratives, and new emotional freedom to emerge.

Dr. Carhart-Harris explains how psilocybin helps patients finally let go of deeply held, pathological beliefs when talk therapy and placebos couldn’t budge them.

We’re not just treating symptoms—we’re shaking up the system.
