Join us for an exclusive, week-long journey at the Medical Psychedelics House of Davos to experience educational talks by subject matter experts and have the opportunity to meet with the most prominent thought leaders of the psychedelic renaissance.
DAVOS, Switzerland, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — As world leaders come together to discuss the global economy at the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering, the world’s most prominent psychedelic industry leaders, drug development experts, clinicians, nonprofit organizations, advocates, and influencers will gather separately in Davos at the inaugural Medical Psychedelic Series to help shape the future of mental health.
“This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the medical psychedelics ecosystem to stand on the international stage for the first time in front of the world’s most powerful leaders,” says Marik Hazan, CEO of Energia Holdings Incorporated. “We want to spark conversations about the high unmet need in mental health, the future of FDA approved psychedelic-assisted therapy, provide a platform for establishing meaningful relationships and partnerships, and build trust with the global community,” added Maria Velkova, managing partner of Tabula Rasa Ventures.
The inaugural week-long series will take place from May 21-26, 2022, at the eclectic Medical Psychedelics House of Davos located on the Promenade in Davos, Switzerland.
Hosted by Energia Holdings Incorporated, the series includes educational talks and panels featuring some of the best-known figures in the psychedelic space, including acclaimed author and psychedelic medicine advocate Deepak Chopra; TV personality and advocate Jason Silva; countess of Wemyss and March and nonprofit leader Amanda Fielding; psychedelic researcher David Nichols, PhD; Endowed Professor & Vice Chair of Psychiatry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Rachel Yehuda, PhD and many more.
The majority of conversations at the Medical Psychedelics House of Davos will focus on FDA approval for these compounds and their associated therapeutic potential, policy, safety and efficacy, biocultural preservation, drug development pipelines, and patient access.
Why Psychedelics: As the COVID-19 pandemic laid bare, mental health is one of the largest underserved areas in the medical community. With few solutions in sight, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that psychedelic-assisted therapy could provide a breakthrough in treating countless mental health ailments, such as depression, substance abuse disorders, and PTSD.
“Clinical research findings published in recent years suggest that psychoactive compounds could be very effective for treating mental health ailments, though we still have a lot more research to conduct if we are to roll out these therapies in the safest possible way”, says Velkova.
The clinical evidence is accumulating. A recent publication in prominent peer-reviewed journal Nature, shows that 67% of patients no longer qualified for a PTSD diagnosis a year after treatment with MDMA (or “ecstasy”). Promising results have also been published for treatment of depression and smoking cessation with psilocybin (psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms”).
“We know that when the general public hears ‘psychedelics’ they first think about ‘shamans’ and ‘hippies’, but what we hope to show over our weeklong series is the evidence-based legitimacy behind psychedelics when used for treatment in clinical trials”, says Hazan.
