A world-leading authority on mental health, Prof Jerry Rosenbaum joins us to share his insights into new psychedelic treatments for mood and anxiety disorders.

A Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the former leader of the #1 rated Department of Psychiatry in the United States, Jerry Rosenbaum is one of the world’s foremost experts on the treatment of disorders like depression, panic, and anxiety.

He now serves as the founding director of the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Center for the Neuroscience of Psychedelics – a new institute dedicated to understanding the power of psychedelics to change the brain and form the basis of powerful new treatments for mental illness.

In this livestream event, he will explore the cutting edge research conducted at the Center and explore this paradigm shift in the way we understand and treat disorders of the mind. He says, “If managed well, [psychedelic based treatments] can make profound changes in how people think, feel, and behave — in some cases abruptly after years of suffering.”

This is an unmissable event for anyone interested in the future of mental healthcare, our understanding of consciousness, and readers of Michael Pollan and Gabor Mate.
