Psychologist Dr Gemma Leigh Roberts sits down with Professor David Nutt to chat about his research into psychedelics and the mindset-shifting abilities they hold.

Dr Gemma Leigh Roberts and Professor David Nutt discuss how psychedelics have the potential to strengthen the relationship between psychiatry and psychology to treat mental health conditions and help people thrive in life.

Explore why psychedelics were criminalised, the therapeutic benefits associated with going on a psychedelic trip, and the power psychedelics have for creating new pathways in the brain.
