In this compelling and candid episode of Your Mental Highness, Dr. J welcomes board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Gil Lichstein to explore the buzz around psychedelics and their role in mental health treatment. Together, they dive into the science and therapeutic potential of substances like ketamine, psilocybin, and MDMA for conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. They cover everything from "ego death" and spiritual awakenings to the safety, regulation, and real-world application of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Dr. Gil breaks down the different classes of psychedelics, explains how treatments like Spravato work, and shares his personal experience with psilocybin. If you've ever wondered whether psychedelics are healing the mind or just helping it hallucinate with purpose—this episode is for you.
