The Psych Review is back in force in 2023, with the entire cast returning for what is shaping up to be an epic season six. In the first episode of this season Dave digs into the largest ever depression focussed genome wide association study and discovers some new significant genetic loci for depression, and Alanna talks us through the recent Therapeutic Goods Administration approval of Psychedelic Assisted Therapies in Australia - a world first.
