Amanda Wilde wants postpartum psilocybin studied directly. The strongest counterevidence comes from mice.

A Harvard-trained researcher wants the first controlled human study of psilocybin in postpartum mothers, arguing that widespread unsupervised use has already outpaced the evidence. A 2025 mouse study is the most direct data yet that the postpartum body responds differently to the drug, and it settles the question for neither side.

What The Work is

A closer look at the people behind the work.

Reported pieces on the people working on the questions reshaping mental health.

The Work looks at the people working directly on questions that can be obscured by trial readouts, regulatory decisions, and company announcements. Each piece begins with a practitioner, researcher, operator, or other contributor and examines the problem they are trying to solve, what their work reveals, and where the uncertainties remain.

These are reported pieces, not profiles or endorsements. Behavioral Wire independently frames, verifies, and contextualizes the work.
