UC Davis Psychedelic Summit 2023: A Resounding Success!

The recent UC Davis Psychedelic Summit was a monumental gathering that brought together a diverse panel of clinical and preclinical experts to delve into the rapidly evolving field of psychedelics and neurotherapeutics. The event was a resounding success and showcased the tremendous potential these novel treatments hold for a wide range of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases.

The summit explored the profound impact that psychedelics may have on conditions such as anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders, among many others. It was an enlightening experience that sparked thought-provoking discussions and presented exciting possibilities for the future of mental health treatment.

Hosted collaboratively by the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, the UC Davis Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics, and the UC Davis Behavioral Health Center for Excellence, the summit exemplified the power of interdisciplinary cooperation and the dedication of our institution to advance the frontiers of science and medicine.  Special thanks to Dr. Helen Kales, the chair of the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, for making the event a huge success.  You can view all of the Psychedelic Summit lectures here.

We are thrilled to announce that due to the overwhelming enthusiasm and interest in this transformative field, we are already planning the next Psychedelic Summit. Stay tuned for more groundbreaking insights, innovative research, and collaborative discussions as we continue our journey to shape the future of mental health treatment.
