          MDMA Variants Show Promise for Safer Psychotherapy

          Researchers developed three new MDMA variants (ODMA, TDMA, and SeDMA) that retain the therapeutic benefits while reducing side effects. These compounds affect mood-regulating brain structures similarly to MDMA but have fewer toxic breakdown products and lower interaction with serotonin receptors. The study suggests these variants could make psychotherapeutic use of MDMA safer. Further research is needed to confirm their efficacy and safety.

          Backing up previous research, a new study reveals psychedelics can have beneficial effects for treating PTSD when combined with traditional trauma-focused psychotherapy.

          Psychedelic drugs: would you accept a prescription? It depends if you’ve tried them before

          Numerous studies have linked controlled psychedelics to improvements in mental health conditions such as depression and PTSD. In March, the FDA approved Esketamine as a treatment for depression. However, with much stigma surrounding psychedelics, researchers question how many patients would take psychedelic medications if prescribed to them. According to a new study, 40% of people with no experience of psychedelics would be unlikely to take the prescription due to fears of 'brain damage' or a 'bad trip'.
