Dr Amza Ali is a neurologist and the global medical director at Psyence. In this episode of the Diary of a Psychedelic Exec, Dr Ali shares his thoughts on palliative care, a key focus area for Psyence. An oft misunderstood topic, he outlines exactly what palliative care is and why it is such a critical component of dealing with serious illnesses. He explains why it is important to address the mental and physical suffering associated with serious illnesses and why psychedelics, and psilocybin in particular, should be studied further to investigate the role they could play in ameliorating mental health disorders in this context.
