Psychiatrist Reveals Why Modern Psychiatry Treats Symptoms, Not the Cause - Dr. Will Van Derveer
About this episode
Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander discuss the limitations of modern psychiatry and the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy for mental health.
Psychiatrist Dr. Will Van Derveer and psychotherapist Keith Kurlander, co-founders of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, reveal why modern psychiatry has become so good at labeling symptoms yet so limited at healing their root cause. In this thought-provoking conversation, they explore how trauma lives in the body as an imprint on the nervous system, why so many treatments fall short, and how the culture we're adapting to may itself be making us unwell. They also open up the emerging world of psychedelic-assisted therapy, what it is, who it can help, and why doing this work safely matters so much. Above all, they share a more hopeful vision of mental health, one that treats the whole person with curiosity, dignity, and the possibility of real transformation. Whether you've struggled to find answers in the conventional system or simply want to understand your own mind more deeply, this is a refreshing and deeply human look at what real healing can be. ⚠️ For educational purposes only, not medical advice. Psychedelic substances carry real risks and should never be used without proper medical and psychological supervision. Connect with Dr. Van Derveer & Keith Kurlander: 🌐…
