Our Opinion

In recent years the subject of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes seems to have gained some ground. On Netflix it is not a new subject matter, see for example Fantastic Fungi (2019). How to Change Your Mind is an engaging series. Well produced, with plenty of interviews, and case studies. I would say it is an enjoyable and somewhat informative watching experience.
