Psychedelic Psychiatry: “From Clinic To Campus” (Part 2 of 2)

Leave a comment

Erika Dyck is a new breed of historian that is hoping to dispel some of the stigma around psychedelic drugs and the way they're used in medicine

The term LSD summons mental images of madness, felonious behavior and perversion but thanks in part to a new, open minded community of academics and researchers, we are once again at the cusp of a new psychedelic renaissance. And now, in place of recreational experimentation for its own sake are transformations in the treatment of mental illness and new ways of understanding human consciousness.

Erika Dyck, Ph.D., a historian with a keen interest in the history of drug experimentation and psychiatric institutionalization, offers an insightful perspective into the politics of medical psychedelic research that very few of us get to hear

Hypnotherapy — Conscious Awareness of the Subconscious

Hypnotherapy -- Becoming Consciously Aware of the Subconscious

Are you one of the many people who often feel anxious, angry or depressed but struggle to understand exactly why? Medical pharmacy customer lines and psychiatrists offices are running at full capacity due in no small part to this phenomenon.

Consider this: roughly 60,000 thoughts vie for your conscious attention compliments of the subconscious area of the brain and filtering out the positive from the negative, the rational from the irrational can overwhelm even the most robust mind. Today we speak to returning guest Lindy Baker, who in addition to being a top notch psychic is a trained clinical hypnotherapist. Lindy has guided many clients through the murky din of the human subconscious. Her work is aimed at conquering personal fears and indecision that can, if left untreated,  form the basis for serious anxiety and depression.

Depression and the Magic Mushroom Treatment

Leave a comment

The psychedelic ingredient in "magic mushrooms", psilocybin, holds promise for millions suffering from untreatable depression

Berit Brogaard, neuroscientist and professor of philosophy at the University of Miami will be presenting an effective and natural antidepressant – psilocybin.  Psilocybin offers several advantages over conventional medications: namely,  instead of merely treating a patient’s physical illness, it also treats the their personal context.

Hopefully one day the current political hysteria towards psychedelics will lift  — thereby allowing governments worldwide to encourage acceptance and the necessary research towards natural, innovative mental health treatments like psilocybin. After all, the World Health Organization lists depression as the number one cause of disability.
