Overview
For decades, psychiatry has relied on treatments that are slow and often ineffective. But what if one intervention could reset the brain, break the grip of addiction, and open the door to an entirely new model of care? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Nolan Williams, a Stanford neuropsychiatrist pioneering new therapies for substance use disorders, depression, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury.
You’ll learn:
-
Why ibogaine is unlike any other psychedelic—and how it could reset the brain
-
Its promise for treating substance abuse disorders and breaking cycles of addiction
-
The safety step that makes ibogaine treatment possible for real patients
-
Why psychiatry is shifting from trial-and-error to targeted brain circuits
Talks like this remind me just how close we are to real breakthroughs in mental health. Dr. Williams calls it psychiatry 3.0. It’s a new era of treatments that actually heal the brain, and it gives me great hope for the future of medicine.
