How is Ecstasy being used to treat post traumatic stress disorder-PTSD?
So Michael Mithoefer down in South Carolina is administrating MDMA to patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and then conducting psychotherapy sessions, with the patients, while they are under the influence of MDMA, and he is getting great data. People are calmer, more relaxed and more willing to talk about the traumas that they have gone through and I mean that is really what you have to do with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, you have to pro stress the trauma, you know and that is pretty much how it is works. It is, it is, it is a medicine that you are taking during therapy as opposed to taking the pill for the rest of your life. You just take it once or twice in the context of therapy and the context of an ongoing therapy to make the therapy go where it needs to go, be faster, less painful, more efficient and more effective.
