The pandemic and economic fall-out have taken a toll on our society in a number of different ways, including a serious impact on our mental health.

Nate and Senator Kutcher discuss the impact of the crisis, how mental health supports can be improved, and the importance of evidence over ideology in politics, with reference to psychedelics.
