IN-PERSON APPEARANCE
(NO VIRTUAL STREAM)
Dr. Sackett is an addiction psychiatrist and general psychiatrist who directs the Center for Novel Therapeutics in Addiction Psychiatry. The center focuses on emerging treatments for addiction with a particular focus on psychedelics and psychedelic psychotherapy.
Psychedelics, like Ketamine, LSD and Psilocybin, have been shown to be effective in treating many mental health conditions. Ketamine was approved by the FDA, and it's likely that more psychedelics will be legalized in the coming years. While they may offer new hope for people who have not responded to traditional treatments, there are many concerns about safety and a lot of questions to ask.
