• Resumen

  • Mental illness has reached crisis proportions, yet we still have no clear links between psychiatric diagnoses and what's going on in the brain--and no effective new classes of drugs. There's one group of compounds that shows promise. They seem to be capable of alleviating symptoms for long periods, in some cases with just a single dose. The catch is that these substances, known as psychedelics, have been outlawed for decades. Wong investigates how psychedelic drugs are transforming the way we think about mental illness.
