Dr Stephen Bright ( @stephenjbright ) is a clinically-trained psychologist with an immense amount of knowledge in the practices and application of psychedelics. Having dealt with generalised anxiety disorder for over 5 years, I’m intrigued by the significance that psychedelic medicine could play in the treatment of mental disorders. For anyone who’s ever had issues with anxiety, PTSD or other mental health conditions, this is a fascinating discussion that could open your mind up to a new area of study.
