In a world where mental health problems are on the rise, Dr. Bart Ellenbroek is exploring how psychedelic drugs may revolutionise the way we think about mental disorders and the brain. In this talk at TEDxMount Victoria (www.tedxmountv...), he shares the results of various studies and why psychedelic drugs is a promising area of research.
Born in the Netherlands and having lived and worked in Saudi Arabia and Germany, Dr. Ellenbroek is a neuroscientist and Professor at Victoria University of Wellington. Fascinated by the brain and its flexibility, he has been working in behavioural neuroscience for over 35 years. His research primarily focuses on the development of mental health problems and how genes, adverse childhood experiences, and drugs shape both our brains and behaviours. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I am moved in a positive way that this treatment is digging its way back to society, the mental health industry... without disrespect. We need this in psychotherapy.
