Are Psychedelics a Mental Health Panacea?

Psychologist Alex Belser is a clinical research fellow at Yale and an adjunct instructor in the Department of Applied Psychology at NYU. While he has a practice, on the research side, he’s been involved in some fascinating studies looking at the potential intersection of psychotherapy and psychedelics. He talks with Elise Loehnen about the many different ways psychedelics are being used to treat depression, anxiety, addiction. They explore how the mind works, why the brain can change, and what might transform the way we see the world.
