Each year, over 21 million U.S. adults experience a major depressive episode, and rates are rising fastest among young adults aged 18–25. For many, standard treatments like SSRIs may help temporarily, but they are not meant as long-term solutions. Some don’t respond at all. Others are searching for options that go beyond just symptom management.
Microdosing psychedelics is increasingly being explored as a promising tool for deeper, long-term healing.
Join Microdosing Collective and Third Wave for a live webinar with Dave Rabin, M.D., Ph.D. — psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and pioneer in integrative mental health — who has helped many patients navigate new paths to recovery. Drawing on his clinical expertise and scientific research, Dr. Rabin will share how microdosing may provide relief where traditional treatments fall short.
Together, we’ll explore how microdosing can calm the nervous system, restore emotional balance, and support a profound level of healing beyond surface symptoms.
What You’ll Learn:
- What’s happening in the brain during depression, and how microdosing may interrupt stuck thought loops and emotional patterns
- Why Dr. Rabin believes real healing starts with the nervous system, not just brain chemistry
- How microdosing is being used in real-world clinical practice—alongside therapy, mindfulness, and trauma healing
- How microdosing compares to antidepressants—and what to consider if you’re currently on SSRIs
- Warning signs and red flags: when microdosing may not be a good fit, and how to approach it safely
- How to have informed conversations with your doctor or therapist about exploring microdosing
