What if we could solve our mental health crisis using psychedelic medicine? With rates of depression and anxiety steadily rising, recent studies have shown that plants could be a promising treatment.
While SSRIs (pharmaceutically produced antidepressant medications) have historically been prescribed for mood disorders, psilocybin is offering a promising, natural alternative.
Host Evan Baehr sits down with Dr. Matthew Johnson to learn about these alternative therapies, and then heads to an ibogaine treatment center to see the impact first-hand.
