In the second part of our conversation with Ed Prideaux, we explore the recovery process, research developments, and clinical implications of Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD). Ed shares:

1. His personal recovery journey and coping strategies
2. The importance of accepting the reality of one's condition
3. The potential pitfalls of online HPPD communities
4. Current research on HPPD, including studies on different psychedelics
5. The need for better diagnostic criteria and understanding among clinicians
6. The relationship between HPPD and other visual disorders like Visual Snow Syndrome
7. Insights on how therapists can better support individuals with HPPD

Ed also discusses the broader implications of HPPD in the context of increasing psychedelic use and legalization. This episode provides valuable information for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in the potential risks associated with psychedelic use.
