Episode: Psychedelics and Prolonged Grief with Dr. Greg Fonzo
Guest: Greg Fonzo, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Charmaine and Gordon McGill Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy at Dell Medical School.

In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. Greg Fonzo about how psychedelics might help people suffering from prolonged grief, a form of grief that lasts longer and feels harder to heal than typical bereavement.

They discuss:

The origins and mission of Dell Med’s Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy
What “prolonged grief” really means and how it differs from normal grief
Why his team is testing psilocybin and 5-MeO-DMT for survivors who lost loved ones
Theories for why psychedelics may help prolonged grief
Study design details, inclusion criteria, and their unique recruitment focus
Ethical and safety considerations when studying powerful psychoactive substances
The broader promise and pitfalls of the fast-moving field of psychedelic research.
