Psychonauts Voice Diary 3 - a PechaKucha talk
Voice Diary 3: The Psychonauts on the PechaKucha platform.
South Africa's Constitution upholds our right to healthcare. Given how unaffordable and inaccessible mental health treatment is in South Africa, having access to a treatment like psilocybin-assisted therapy becomes a Constitutional one.
Early findings from clinical trials show that psilocybin may be more effective for treating some mood disorders and addictions than current methods.
But psilocybin is currently illegal in South Africa, making it impossible for therapists to include it in their treatment methods. A 2018 court bid to legalise the substance may change that. Listen to the audio of Leonie's PechaKucha (Cape Town) talk.
