BioForum – Our Mental Health Epidemic: The Need for Innovation in Treatment
With Tania de Jong AM, Peter Hunt AM, Dr Paul MacLeman and Prof Arthur Christopoulos
Date: Wed 04 August 2021 @ 4:00pm (AEST)
Location: Online
Despite an ever-increasing number of Australians experiencing debilitating mental illnesses, there has been little innovation in mental health treatment options over the last 5 decades.
With a new approach desperately needed, attention is now being paid to the potential role of psychedelic medicines as aides to psychotherapy for a wide array of conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction. The Australian Government has recently demonstrated its support of these breakthrough therapies with a $15 million grant to kick start clinical trials.
This keynote session will discuss the science and data around psychedelic medicines and the exciting work that is currently being done in this space. We will examine the evidence for psychedelic-assisted therapies, investigate its potential applications, and learn about pre-clinical research and animal models currently being developed in Victoria. You will also learn about how the current policy and regulatory environment affects the work.

Psychedelic therapies stand poised to change how we think of, and treat, mental, emotional and behavioural health conditions.
