In this episode of the Drug Science Podcast, Dr Hannah Thurgur speaks with Dr Justin Garson, professor of philosophy at CUNY and the author of The Madness Pill, a history of Professor Solomon Snyder and the biological understanding of schizophrenia. He outlines the significant shift to biological paradigms of mental health treatment in the 80s and its ramifications for psychiatry decades later. He dives into the role of different drugs, including psychedelics and amphetamines, in crafting a more informed understanding of schizophrenia and psychosis, before explaining the faults he sees within the field of psychiatry.
