Are we excited about psychedelics because we are excited about psychedelics, or are we projecting our dreams onto this field from a place of deep dissatisfaction with existing psychiatry?

Some more big news from @ghresearch_plc yesterday. n=81 phase 2b in TRD.
57.5% in remission at day 8! After a 15minute psychedelic experience with good medical care but no formal therapy. 77.8% getting to remission with repeat dosing. Game changing?!

Some seriously exciting results available from our recent #postpartumdepression trial using #psychedelics.
It was such a pleasure to work with the folk @ghresearch_plc. They are a great bunch... expect some great things in this space in the future ;-)

@sheffielduni no longer subscribes to Elsevier???!?!? What! How can you credibly study/work at a Russel group without this???
Feels like knowledge itself is under attack.
Frances Jones@frances_jones00
The University of Sheffield has taken a stance against the “unsustainable” commercial publishing model, dropping its "big" deal with Elsevier... If any other universities have done the same/are thinking about it, please let me know!

Ketamine is not a psychedelic. Quite worried to see how many young people are gravitating towards it.
Robin Carhart-Harris@RCarhartHarris
Ketamine is not a psychedelic. It has different subjective effect, pharmacological, toxicity and addiction potential. Please do not conflate.

Why are we not prioritising intercalated degrees for med students? We are going to lose something important here.

According to dynamical systems, psychiatric disorders can be seen as energy landscapes with peaks and valleys. OCD has deep valleys where neural activity gets stuck, while schizophrenia has shallow valleys that let neural activity roam too freely, connecting unrelated ideas.

Huge kudos to Bethan who has worked so hard on this project. So important that we listen carefully to our patients as we slowly edge forward in the #psychedelic field.

... and I don't think Dr Glover would really support this, if he thought it through. His message was that there is hope for new treatments on the horizon

IMO there should NEVER be a role for "enforcing" psychedelic treatments in psychiatry. See 1:14:51 below youtu.be/WHPxxVjwy8g?si…

The DMT predictor is interesting. This is a short acting psychedelic - could there be a convenience effect here? Easier to incorporate into life/meditation practice?
English
Predictors of this effect included:
-Personality trait 'agreeableness' (previously linked to mystical experience on psychedelics)
-Frequency of psychedelic use (no surprises there... causality not established)
-Setting 'intention' before use
-DMT exposure
