I think just now.

So there was a two-year waiting period.

And they were training people to do psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy.

I mean, MDMAs, I think, been... Ketamine can do it, but then ketamine can also be addictive and can be problematic. So I'm like, well, why wouldn't we scan them first? And then try to figure out why you're depressed. Because if you think about it, depression is like chest pain. And nobody gets a diagnosis of chest pain. Why?

It doesn't tell you what's causing it, and it doesn't tell you what to do for it. All sorts of things can cause chest pain, right? From a heart attack, a heart arrhythmia, a heart infection, gas, an ulcer, grief. All of those can cause chest pain. Well, there's a whole bunch of things that can cause depression.

like loss negative thinking low thyroid having a head injury um being exposed to mold or mercury lead it's like if you don't look if you just give everybody you're depressed based on these nine symptoms And now we go give everybody an SSRI, which is ludicrous because that's assuming everybody with... It's sort of like giving everybody with chest pain nitroglycerin, which is stupid, right?

You would never give everybody who has chest pain one treatment. You'd go, I have to target the treatment to the cause. But if you never lock... You have no idea. So, for example, I was on the Kardashians. And so it's public that I saw Kendall and I saw her for post-COVID anxiety. Her brain was on fire from COVID.

And a lot of people don't understand that COVID and other infections can cause inflammation in the brain. Well, that's not a psilocybin thing. That's an anti-inflammatory cocktail to help post-COVID anxiety or post-COVID depression. If you don't look, you don't know, you end up flying blind. And that's what I've been fighting with my colleagues for the last 33 years.

It's how do you know unless you look? And what other medical specialists never look at the organ they treat? So we could talk about, oh, I've seen these amazing results. And I think we should see, well, what's the scan pattern that that you're going to respond to psilocybin or Lexapro or ketamine or Lamictal, right?

I mean, it's great we have all these treatments, but let's not fly blind when we don't have to.

It's such an interesting graph. Because here in America, we want the fast answer. I don't feel well, fix me. And... what doctors have. Do you know 85% of psychiatric drugs in America are prescribed by non-psychiatric physicians in seven-minute office visits that do standard of care 12% of the time. And that they do what most doctors would consider good medicine 12% of the time.
