Today’s Conversation

During our conversation, Dr. Morski covered a variety of topics:

  • Psychedelics that have previously been shown to be effective in mental health disorders;
  • New indications where approval for use is expected soon;
  • The best situations for physicians and other clinicians to get involved;
  • How Lynn Marie started the PMA.

Psychedelics in Clinical Medicine

Lynn Marie explains that her mission is to spread the word about psychedelic medicines to clinicians. She believes that it is more effective than trying to educate patients.

Clinicians need to know that it no longer makes sense to prescribe antidepressants and anxiolytics chronically when there are newer, more effective options. Very few medical schools or residencies include training in the use of psychedelics. Hence, Lynn Marie made it her mission to fill that gap.

Annual Psychedelic Medicine Association Conference

The Psychedelic Medicine Association will hold its second annual conference in October as part of the annual Sana Symposium. It will be virtual this year, but Dr. Morski plans to hold an in-person meeting in future years.

The goal is to provide next-level information about psychedelics. There will be presentations pertaining to current clinical applications that will enable physicians and other mental health professionals to treat their patients. CME credit will be available.
