The Promise and Politics of Psychedelics
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is reshaping mental health treatment, offering hope for those struggling with depression, PTSD, and other conditions. With careful guidance and groundbreaking research, these therapies aim to address the root causes of mental illness and provide lasting relief.
Featured in a recent edition of Moffly Media, Andrew J. Gerber, MD, PhD, President and Medical Director of Silver Hill Hospital acknowledges the transformative potential of psychedelics for treating severe mental health conditions but emphasizes the importance of careful, measured implementation.
“Psychiatry has lagged behind just because the brain is so complicated that we haven’t had those biomarkers. If we can track progress using MRI, which is exactly what we’re aiming to do in this study, that’s a game changer for the field and one we’re proud to be a part of.” -Dr. Gerber
