Short-acting psychedelic for depression
We are evaluating short acting psychedelics, like SPL026, with supportive therapy as a potential new approach to the treatment of depression.
“It needs to be competitive in public health systems; it needs to be kind of cost-effective. If a more condensed, powerful experience could have therapeutic effects... then it's totally worth exploring.” Dr David Erritzoe, Psychiatrist at Imperial College London

Anticipated treatment journey

Preparation
The therapist helps patients feel comfortable about the dosing experience, explore their life history, their intentions and ultimately help them build a patient-therapist relationship.

Dosing Session
The patient is supervised by the therapy team as the medicine is administered in a calm room. The patient is encouraged to lie down, listen to music and use eye shades to enhance the experience.

Integration
The therapist works with the individual to interpret and identify insights from the psychedelic experience with the goal of achieving meaningful long-term change.

Self Healing
Individuals are encouraged to use additional approaches to reflect and continue their healing outside of the clinic setting.
