Psychedelics and Mental Health: A Conversation with Dr. Lanre Dokun

Psychedelics have emerged as a fascinating frontier in mental health treatment, offering hope to those struggling with depression and other conditions. Following the release of journalist Kendis Gibson's book on psychedelic use, Fortune Well sat down with Dr. Lanre Dokun, a leading expert in psychiatry, to explore the growing interest in psychedelic therapy, its impact, and misconceptions that surround it.

Dr. Dokun’s insights shed light on how these treatments are being researched, the evolving conversation around mental health, and what this could mean for the future of therapy. The interview also highlights the challenges and stigma that still exist, even as more people become open to alternative approaches for healing.
