Professor David Nutt - Psychedelic drugs as potential treatments for mental health conditions

Psychedelic drugs, also known as hallucinogens, act on the brain to cause changes in perception, mood and cognitive functions. Professor David Nutt talks about research into how psychedelic drugs, like psilocybin (magic mushrooms) LSD and DMT (ayahuasca), are working in the brain. David also discusses the potential of psychedelic drugs as new treatments for mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety and addiction.

Would you expect an academic to promote someone else ? There are no shortage of egotistical clickbait channels on YT where your comment would be more relevant
