On April 29, the 3rd The Clinic of Change Scientific Conference will take place. This event has already become a leading forum for presenting and discussing advances in the study of psychedelics and their effects on mental health.
Under the theme “Innovation and Scientific Evidence: The Impact of Psychedelics on Mental Health”, a panel of international and national speakers promises to explore the latest confirmed scientific data in this area and how it could help thousands of people treat conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance dependence, including alcohol.
