Mind the Gap: Mental Health Innovation vs. Real-World Access

New mental‑health treatments are advancing quickly—from novel mechanisms and long‑acting options to emerging approaches like psilocybin‑based therapies and one‑shot treatments. But access hasn’t kept pace. Insurance and coverage systems are adapting too slowly, leaving many people unable to benefit from the care that could help them most. This session breaks down the real‑world barriers patients face: limited therapy coverage, provider shortages, fragmented care, and benefit rules that delay or block treatment. We’ll explore how these gaps hit hardest for people managing chronic or overlapping health challenges. You’ll hear directly from patients, caregivers, innovators, and policy experts about what’s new, what’s getting in the way, and what advocates can do now to ensure promising treatments are shaped around patient needs and truly within reach.
