MYND Life Sciences Announces Closing of Fully Subscribed $3 Million Convertible Debenture Unit Offering
Worldwide, mental health is on the decline.
Nearly 264 million people are struggling with depression, for example.(2)
While some of us may be better at hiding our depression than others, it can be a real struggle, especially with the potential anxiety, irritability, and hopelessness.
Robin Williams, for example, spent his life making people laugh themselves silly while dealing with issues of severe depression.(3) A dear friend of mine who always has a smile on her face in public often wants to be left alone, struggling with depression for years.
Many even “put on a face” so others aren’t aware of how they really feel.
It’s not fun. It’s not easy.
Besides, it often gets old telling people, “I’m okay,” when we’re not.
To help alleviate the symptoms of depression, many turn to anti-depressants such as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).(4) About 13% of Americans age 12+ are currently on medications to help reduce those symptoms.(4) The problem is — SSRIs aren’t always helpful, focusing more on symptom suppression than the root cause.(4)
Making matters worse, over the last 20 years, we’ve seen very little innovation with SSRIs. (3)
According to The Guardian, “The number of psychopharmacological drugs research programs in larger drug firms has shrunk by 70% in the past decade.”(5)
“In general the larger companies have walked away from psychiatry,” they noted. “There are a few companies who have maintained efforts in the area but 70% tells you it’s been a pretty remarkable departure. Many withdrew from neuroscience entirely.”(5)
Of course, that needs to change.
That being said, the pharmaceutical industry is overdue for a massive, game-changing revolution when it comes to mental health care.
Fortunately, that revolution may have already begun thanks to companies like MYND Life Sciences Canada CSE: (MYND) U.S. OTC: (MYNDF).
With the help of MYND Life Sciences and psi-lo-cybin, approximately 264 million people all around the world could be offered a new way to deal with their depression.
MYND is a life sciences drug development company that’s aggressively advancing psi-lo-cybin-based medicines to help treat mental illness. The company’s MYND-604 treatment is being developed to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and bring much-needed innovation to the antiquated multi-billion dollar SSRI market.
Helping, 2021 could be a game-changing year for the company.
At the moment, MYND is planning for several clinical trials to establish the efficacy of its novel diagnostics and therapeutics with plans to rapidly commence these in Q4 of 2021: (4)
Its MYND-604 program for MDD, for example, is being developed to treat MDD and bring much-needed innovation to the antiquated multi-billion dollar SSRI market.(4)
Additionally, MYND-778 is being developed as an oral dosage form of psi-lo-cybin for the treatment of sepsis. Sepsis is a bi-phasic inflammatory disease characterized by an initial hyper-inflammatory phase called systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which is followed by an anti-inflammatory phase called endotoxin tolerance (ET).(4)
It sure looks that way.
For one, the US FDA is backing research into psi-lo-cybin. In 2018, for example, the agency recognized psi-lo-cybin as “breakthrough therapy” for depression.(6)
Two, clinical studies from the likes of Johns Hopkins and New York University are already showing positive results.
Major cities in Colorado, California, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington D.C. have decriminalized ent-he-ogens and taken significant strides for legal psych-e-delic assisted therapy.(4)
In Canada, Health Canada allowed four terminal cancer patients to undergo end-of-life care with psi-lo-cybin. Plus, healthcare professionals nationwide have been approved for professional training using psi-lo-cybin.(4)
Not to mention, “As patents on many conventional antidepressants begin to expire – and public and regulatory opinion regarding psych-e-delics is changing – 2021 will be the time that psych-e-delic therapy casts a spotlight on the limitations of current mental-health care treatments, and highlights a bold alternative,” according to Wired UK.(12)
MYND Life Sciences Canada CSE: (MYND) U.S. OTC: (MYNDF) was founded by Dr. Wilfred Jefferies and Dr. Lyle Oberg with the goal of improving mental health.
Dr. Jefferies is a world-renowned Neuro-immunologist with over 60 patents and 100 publications in prestigious medical journals, including Nature and The Lancet. Through research conducted by Dr. Jeffries over the past 30 years and Dr. Oberg’s executive leadership, the two intend to establish the link between depression and inflammation in the brain. All with the ultimate goal to develop a pharmaceutical treatment utilizing compounds found in psi-lo-cybin.
Dr. Wilfred Jefferies, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer
Dr. Wilfred A. Jefferies earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at the University of Oxford, followed by post doctorates at top academic centres in Switzerland and Sweden. He was quickly recognized as a rising star by none other than Nobel Prize laureate Dr. Michael Smith who personally recruited him to his laboratory at the University of British Columbia where he continues to perform research today. Dr. Jefferies is recognized as a leader in the emerging field of immunotherapy and his research has resulted in new and innovative ways to use components of the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, viruses and even promote brain health. He has an uncanny ability to translate complex immunological breakthroughs into real world medical treatments.
Dr. Jefferies is also a member of the UBC Departments of Microbiology & Immunology, Medical Genetics, and Zoology, as well as the Centre for Blood Research and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health.
Dr. Lyle Oberg, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
A physician by profession, Dr. Oberg possesses extensive senior leadership, finance and corporate governance experience. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta as a Progressive Conservative in 1993. He was first appointed to the Alberta Cabinet in 1997 and served numerous posts. He launched a western Canadian initiative to address Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and implemented an interprovincial strategy to share resources and develop new and better approaches for addressing FAS. In May 1999, Dr. Oberg was appointed Minister of Learning, He began the second language initiative in Alberta schools to give students an edge in the world marketplace and initiated the development of the daily physical activity program to improve the health of Alberta students. In 2006, Lyle Oberg was named Minister of Finance. Lyle left politics in 2008 with one of the largest surpluses in Alberta history. Dr. Oberg later opened and became CEO of C2DNA, the first private DNA testing facility in Canada.

John Trowsdale
John Trowsdale is an Emeritus Professor, specialist in Immunogenetics, in the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge UK. In the early 1980’s he was one of the first to clone HLA genes and to complete sequencing of the entire HLA region. In collaboration with Stephan Beck at the Sanger Centre he provided sequenced common HLA haplotypes, which were used as ‘gold-standard’ references. John’s interest in GenDx is in further development of rapid genetic analysis of highly variable genes such as HLA and KIR in human disease, such as infection, autoimmunity, cancer and pregnancy disorders. The link with GenDx is of mutual benefit in driving forward the use of next generation sequencing techniques to achieve rapid and accurate immunogenetic analysis. John visits GenDx to discuss how development of novel techniques at GenDx benefits the research and health care communities.
