Can Psychedelics Help Postpartum Depression? With Clare Wiley

About this episode

What if there were a faster, more effective way to treat postpartum depression?

In this episode of The Psychedelic Report, Dr. Dave Rabin sits down with journalist Clare Wiley to explore the emerging role of psychedelic therapies in supporting new mothers. Drawing from her reporting and personal experience, Clare shares how she became interested in the intersection of women’s health and psychedelics.

They unpack the reality of postpartum depression, a condition that affects up to 1 in 7 women, and why current treatments don’t work for everyone. The conversation explores new research on psilocybin and ketamine, including early findings that suggest even a single dose may help restore a sense of connection that many women feel they’ve lost.

Clare also shares powerful stories from mothers who turned to psychedelics when nothing else worked, and they discuss the importance of safety, support, and reducing stigma around both mental health and psychedelic use.

This conversation is about expanding options, asking better questions, and finding new ways to support women during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
