Treating Mood Disorders with Psychoactive Drugs
15 November 2022
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM PST
Session Description
The many problems with current depression and anxiety treatments — unwanted side effects, prolonged time to kick in, and unpredictable efficacy — have prompted scientists to turn to a new treatment approach: psychoactive drugs. Researchers will discuss attempts to harness the antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects of cannabis and psilocybin, without triggering their psychoactive effects in the process.
