🧠 Psychedelics & Healthy Ageing: Hope or Hype?
THIS WILL BE FILMED. ALL REGISTRANTS WILL GET A LINK. Could psychedelic medicine change the way we think about ageing, depression, dementia, and end-of-life care?
Join us for a fascinating, evidence-based talk with prescribing pharmacist and neuropsychopharmacology specialist Voytek Bereza, who will explore what current research really tells us about psychedelics in older adults.
We'll discuss:
🌿 Treatment-resistant depression in later life
🧩 Alzheimer's disease and dementia
💙 End-of-life distress and palliative care
⚖️ The difference between scientific evidence, emerging research, and speculation
🩺 Important safety considerations for older adults
The talk is inspired in part by a recently published case report describing remarkable improvements in an 80-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer's disease following a single high-dose psilocybin experience. While one case doesn't prove a treatment works, it raises important questions about where this field of research may be heading.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, student, caregiver, researcher, or simply curious about the future of psychedelic medicine, this event offers a balanced and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most exciting areas of modern neuroscience.
❤️ This is a benefit event, with 100% of ticket proceeds going to help protect Ecuador's beautiful Los Cedros Cloud Forest through the Rainforest Information Centre. Tickets are available on a sliding scale from $5–$100, making the event accessible to everyone.
If you're interested in science, mental health, healthy ageing, or the future of medicine, we'd love to see you there.
