Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy:
An Option for End-of-Life Anxiety and Depression Learn about the magic mushroom’s history and how it works in the brain and why it may be able to ease both psychological distress, and the existential distress felt when faced with a life-threatening illness. Ketamine, which is legally available in the US will also be discussed in treating depression and anxiety at end-of-life. Since psychedelics are not for everyone; presentation will cover pros and cons and other information. Presenter, Christine Caldwell; Moderator, Don Diddams; Zoom Host, Jane Rose.
