    Look up Kary Mullis...... He got Nobel prize for pcr after insights from an lsd trip....

    Replying to @Cox_A_R @StuartJRitchie
    I remember him giving a talk at the BNA about 10 years ago and ascribing someone’s (can’t remember which laureate sadly) Nobel prize win to their use of psychedelics and thinking then he’d lost the plot.

    No u turn. SSRIs are still good drugs see the escit arm in our NEJM study. And even better for relapse prevention See Geddes lancet paper. But they dont work in all patients and in these nonresponders psilocybin can be effective as in our lancet psychiatry study.

    Replying to @HengartnerMP
    , a huge number of aspiring young therapists and researchers, fascinated by psychedelic medicine, look up to you. It would be great if you could enlighten us as to this u-turn. Was it a sudden realization that led to a change of opinion re AD's, or something else?
