Characterised by sustained visual disturbances \u2013 often akin to the visions glimpsed while high \u2013 that can last for years, HPPD is implicated in significant distress and occasional suicides, and little is known for certain about how it occurs and whom it tends to affect. Ed Prideaux, a journalist and forthcoming Master\u2019s graduate of the University of East London, lived with HPPD for several years after a (semi-)bad trip on 1P-LSD while a teenager. In 2020, he became a public advocate for more research into the condition, and by the following year he was doing research on HPPD himself. What Ed found struck him: the link between HPPD and hallucinogens is fraught, the visions needn\u2019t be distressing (and can be the opposite), and the entire conceptual structure of HPPD could be helping to fuel the very distress it categorises. Sharing findings from his recent research, Ed will ask important questions around a very real risk, and motivate a broader dialogue about the way we make sense of disorders in a disordered world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-responsive-item\"  title=\"Ed Prideaux - HPPD and \u2018flashbacks\u2019: disorders of prohibition?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X8Kv-TB0tzM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributor &#8211; Speaker Ed Prideaux is a freelance writer, journalist, and forthcoming graduate of the University of East London in Psychology.
