A special conversation with Troy Rohn on his book “Brain Medicine: Breakthroughs in Gene Therapy for Anxiety & Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders.”
Most anxiety treatments manage the symptoms — but what if you could actually rewire what's causing them? That's the question driving neuroscientist Troy's book, Brain Medicine, which argues gene therapy could move anxiety treatment beyond present medications toward fixing the underlying brain circuitry itself. He talks about why he wrote the book, the ethical questions this science raises — access, cost, and where treatment ends and enhancement begins — and also talks about his own lifelong struggle with anxiety.
