Psilocybin–the active ingredient naturally found in psychedelic magic mushrooms–is increasingly being used to help fight what is often called ‘treatment-resistant depression’ among other mental illnesses. COMPASS Pathways is one bold healthcare venture on a mission to fight human suffering at scale using a combination of a one-time psilocybin treatment, ongoing therapy and digital tools. To discuss this new direction for mental healthcare, we are joined by COMPASS Pathways Co-Founder and Chairman, George Goldsmith, as well as Ed Bolton, Creative Director of Brand in frog London. George and his team at COMPASS Pathways worked with frog to communicate their story and carve a new category for investors and patients alike.
