Professor David Nutt

Bu bölüm hakkında

<p>Psychedelics have been stigmatised and criminalised for over 50 years, but David Nutt, a professor of neuropsychopharmacology and a leading worldwide authority on drugs, feels we’re on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience that could see psychedelics being used to treat mental health conditions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this chat with Fearne, David explains the difference between the brain and the mind, and how psychedelics switch the latter off so the former can heal and lay down new thinking patterns. They discuss the potential therapeutic purposes of these drugs for conditions including PTSD, addiction, anxiety, and eating disorders.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>David’s new book, Psychedelics, has recently been published by Yellow Kite and is available as a hardback, ebook and audio book.&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
