Join us as we look at the ways in which psychedelics can be a therapeutic option for those with ADHD. Followed by Q&A.
About this Event

Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder in which the brain develops differently, leading to issues with attention, inhibition of thoughts, movements and emotions. This talk will cover how psychedelics work in the brain, how an ADHD brain looks and functions differently to non-ADHD brains, and the emerging evidence that psychedelics may be an effective therapeutic option for some people with ADHD.

The use of psychedelic drugs as therapeutic treatments for psychiatric disorders have led to their use being suggested for other conditions such as ADHD. Join us and discover how!

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!

Testimonials from our guests

⭐ Brilliant well paced talks for us ND folks. - Christine K.

⭐ It felt like a really great session with well rounded knowledge and it felt like a safe space with a safe speaker who genuinely cared and understood the shared experience. - Anon.

⭐ A big thank you to James [...] You explain things so well and I LOVE that it’s coming from someone who has first hand experience with ADHD and is still learning about themselves every day too, and so open about their own struggles, it really helps. I have learned a lot from this talk and I really think it could help us both in our relationship. Big thanks for a great talk, I’ll be looking forward to more. - Anon.
