The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Jeffrey M. Jonas, Kimi

power of substitution, the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

        (1)     Complete and execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in
the undersigned's capacity as an officer, director and/or ten percent (10%)
shareholder of Sage Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
any and all instruments, certificates and documents required to be executed on
behalf of the undersigned as an individual or on behalf of the undersigned's
company or partnership, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 13 and Section
16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or
the rules and regulations thereunder;

        (2)     Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such

file such forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and
any stock exchange or similar authority; and

        (3)     Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by any such attorney-in-fact on behalf of

        The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact, acting
singly, full power and authority to do and perform any and every act which is
