Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman show, what you said blew my mind, which is that there's this compound out there that can abruptly interrupt a withdrawal from addiction, that can help treat PTSD, depression, traumatic brain injury better than anything else we have out there on the market, and orders of magnitude more. Dr. Nolan Williams is a triple board-certified neuropsychiatrist. and founder of Stanford's Brain Stimulation Lab.
He's redefining how we treat depression, PTSD, and addiction using brain stimulation, psychedelics, and neuroscience instead of meds. I mean there was a WHO statistic that really struck me, which is one out of two people will have a DSM diagnosis at some point in their lifetime. I think this is like a really paradigm shifting moment where work like yours have have really sort of pushed the envelope and say, you know, hey, wait a minute, like we're thinking about mental illness. All wrong. We're talking about like one dose, one day having an effect of reverse your brain age by a year and a half at a month.
That's pretty remarkable. Is it dangerous for these people to do? All right, Nolan, great to have you on the podcast. Thanks for being here. Yeah, thanks for having me.
