I'm excited to share testimony from the TX Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs and Border Security for HB 1802 supporting the study of psychedelic medicine for PTSD in Veterans. Bill is laid out at 11:25; testimony at 21:30. Unanimous YAY vote! 🥳 lnkd.in/dZQSb7X

It has been an honor, privilege, and grand adventure to be part of this landmark effort in TX with an incredible team led by Representative Alex Dominguez. There is an urgent need for improved treatments for PTSD and suicidality!

This thread is truly lovely. ❤️ Thank you @jfkantrowitz for your compassion, hospitality, and for opening your heart and home to so many. What a delicious feast and perfect idea to unite and gather in a time of isolation. 🤗
If anyone is alone today and feeling lonely, you are invited to my Thanksgiving dinner. I made lemon & rosemary turkey. Tell me your hair & eye color & what you’re bringing, & I’ll draw you in.

It’s ok to not feel ok. 💜
A nurse asked me to draw this for her team. I thought I’d post it here. It’s a well known phrase but bears repeating.

Absolutely delightful. ❤️ Growing up in cattle and sheep country, I’ve never heard anyone so successfully use the simple command, “Stand!” 🐑 🤩
Spent the last hour judging the online sheep show And I have to tell you that the young handlers under 8 class was the cutest thing I have ever seen

Thanks @jasonluoma for the opportunity to be interviewed for your podcast. It was great fun and covered some of my favorite things: #Fulbright, #Storytelling, and #Ketamine.

Looking forward to presenting my PhD research and catching up with old friends tomorrow @VA_PTSD_Info @YalePsych @netteaverill @tekgy

Huh, I was so focused on the latter point of exploring underlying causes, I totally overlooked the wasted time piece. I agree w/ you @ChadiAbdallah3 that NO efforts to prevent suicide are “wasted” and in fact, quite the opposite.

A very exciting finding that sheds further insight into ketamine’s effects and how we may be able to extend them! Serendipity for the win - again. 😎🥳

An excellent point. It has such profound impact and benefit to really work to understand what is underlying the suicidality and to collaborate with and support people in making changes (cognitive, behavioral, environmental, other) to create a life they really want to live.
‘I think we as a society waste a lot of time trying to stop people from killing themselves as opposed to exploring why they want to die in the first place. SUSAN STEFAN, A SCHOLAR AND LITIGATOR’ from the article in thread below👇🏼. Resonates!
