Resumen del Editor

The definitive guide to psychedelics, science and our health by a world-renowned, leading authority, Professor David Nutt.

We are on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience. After fifty years of prohibition, criminalisation and fear, science is finally showing us that psychedelics are not dangerous or harmful. Instead, when used according to tested, safe and ethical guidelines, they are our most powerful newest treatment of mental health conditions, from depression, PTSD, and OCD to disordered eating and even addiction and chronic pain.

Professor David Nutt, one of the world's leading Neuropsychopharmacologists, has spent 15 years researching this field and it is his most significant body of work to date. In 2018, he co-founded the first academic psychedelic research centre - underpinned by his mission to provide evidence-based information for people everywhere. It revived interest in the understanding and use of this drug in its many forms, including MDMA, ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, LSD and ketamine. The results of this have been nothing short of ground-breaking for the future categorisation of drugs, but also for what we now know about brain mechanisms and our consciousness.

At a time where there is an enormous amount of noise around the benefits of psychedelics, this book contains the knowledge you need to know about a drug that is about to go mainstream, free from the hot air, direct from the expert.

A superb overview of the mental healthcare renaissance that is psychedelics

An invaluable, insightful account written by a research pioneer at the top of his game who is also old enough, widely experienced enough and independent of government oversight enough to provide a farsighted and mature view of this fascinating field. My 30 year’s experience as a family practitioner encountering the mental health problems common to our modern civilisation thoroughly convinced me of my abiding aversion to specialising as a psychiatrist: the hitherto current therapeutic armamentarium is so dismally unimpressive and often downright deleterious to patient health. However Psychedelics are profoundly changing this for the better. Since August 2022 I have been administering IV ketamine at our practice to anxious , depressed, suicidal patients as well as those with intractable fibromyalgia. I have been truly amazed at the results: to the point that I would now strongly encourage any young medical student or doctor who wants to make a positive difference in peoples lives to pursue a career in psychiatry. Psychedelics are without doubt destined to make it one of the most satisfying medical specialties to be engaged in by a country mile. Thank you Professor Nutt for so eloquently sharing this gem of a book.
