What do you, what's your opinion now as a psychiatrist of the future for, for that, for treating depression, anxiety, all that kind of stuff?
62:38
Uh, well, the studies on depression are in their very early stages, but I, I reckon psilocybin's going to be...
62:46
You know, it's, at the moment it's going for a cure-all for everything, for every human condition from pain to, um, sorrow to bereavement, everything.
63:01
Psychosis even.
63:02
But I, I think psilocybin, for certain people, my experience, my opinion, uncorroborated, okay? This is, uh, from my experience, I think it's particularly good, [laughs] particularly good for people who are, um, caught up in an internal loop of neurosis.
63:23
And, um, sometimes it's very difficult for these people to engage in therapy because they actually cannot get outside of their own heads.
