The FDA is examining the safety and efficacy of MDMA as a treatment for PTSD, as advocates push for psychedelic drugs to be used in medicine. While patients showed significant improvement in PTSD symptoms with MDMA and therapy, the FDA raised concerns over interpretation of research, potential for abuse, and safety risks such as heart problems. If approved in August, MDMA would become a prescription medication for certified doctors. The drug is part of a growing interest in psychedelics for mental health conditions like depression, addiction, and anxiety.
