Psychedelic Therapy

Can psychedelic drugs like LSD and MDMA help patients going through mental health therapy? These drugs began life as medicines, and yet psychedelic therapy is now on the fringes of both psychiatry and society. Intriguingly, new clinical trials are starting to reevaluate the impact these drugs can have in helping patients reconnect with their feelings and the difficult experiences in their life.

Menstruation and menopause are two fundamental biological processes in every woman’s lifetime. However, both these subjects are shrouded with secrecy, and it’s often difficult to have open conversations about them because of cultural taboos. But what are the consequences of silence? What are the economic impacts, the social injustices, and the health risks? Why is it so difficult to find consensus on what menopause is, and what its purpose is? 

Join us for a Mosaic  and Science on Google+  Hangout on air as we speak to author Rose George about these under-reported topics. Rose wrote two fascinating articles for Mosaic about menstruation and menopause, and we will be exploring these subjects in-depth. 

This HOA will be hosted by Dr Buddhini Samarasinghe. You can tune in on Saturday 23rd January at 3 PM UK time. The hangout will be available for viewing on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/ScienceHangouts) after the event.
