In this compelling episode of Exploring Reality Maybe, we sit down with Nick Sireau, Co-Founder and CEO of Seranatis Bio, to explore the complex landscape of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), neurochemistry, and the science of healing. Nick’s journey into neuroscience began through personal experience, witnessing the challenges of OCD in his own family, which ignited his lifelong commitment to uncovering new ways to understand and treat the condition.
From his early work in rare disease research to leading efforts in neuropsychiatric drug discovery, Nick bridges compassion with scientific innovation. He unpacks the latest insights into brain circuits, glutamate–GABA balance, and how understanding neurochemistry could revolutionize mental health care.
We also discuss the emotional and philosophical dimensions of healing, how purpose, resilience, and curiosity shape both scientific progress and personal growth.
Finally, we reflect on what it means to seek serenity in a restless mind. This conversation offers a rare and intimate look into the intersection of neuroscience, empathy, and the enduring human drive to heal.
