Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Santiago Madero on psychedelic treatments in Europe

Q: What does the current regulatory landscape look like in Europe for psychedelic treatments?

Madero notes that Europe is starting to catch up with the US in terms of regulatory acceptance and research initiatives, citing recent developments in Germany and the Czech Republic as positive movements towards integrating psychedelics in therapeutic settings.

Santiago Madero on psychedelic treatments in Europe

Q: How does this feed into the debate on whether psychedelics should be used as pharmacological tools or as psychotherapeutic catalysts?

Madero emphasizes that the subjective experience of psychedelics may play a crucial role in their therapeutic effects, suggesting that regulatory pathways could evolve to accommodate both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic uses.

Simon Mead on variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Q: How important do you think it is to have ongoing surveillance and how are cases currently monitored across the UK and Europe and globally?

Surveillance for prion diseases is crucial as their diagnosis overlaps with sporadic forms, and historically, the UK has been strong due to the expertise of specialist clinics. However, current system reliability is uncertain after recent funding closures.

Simon Mead on variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Q: Could you tell us a bit about how you did that?

We built a probabilistic model following birth cohorts that were exposed to BSC in the 1980s or 1990s, incorporating genetic effects and fine-tuning it using historical variant CJD data.

Graham Thornicroft on transforming mental health in Europe

Q: What makes Central and Eastern Europe distinct in terms of its mental health challenges?

The lingering effects of the communist era, including a more biomedical focus and reliance on large psychiatric institutions, contribute to ongoing mental health issues in these regions.
