MDMA- 3,4 Methylenedioxymethamphetamine is an empathogen-entactogen; stimulant that helps faciliate healing in conjunction with psychotherapy in a clinical setting.
MDMA is in the final research stages with the FDA naming it as breakthrough therapy; a drug that treats life threatening conditions.
MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) MDMA phase 3 FDA trial targeting PTSD resulted in 80% of participants suffering with PTSD no longer meeting PTSD diagnostic criteria and reported a clinical meaningful response after three medicine sessions.
“The basic premise of this treatment approach is that the therapeutic effect is not due simply to the physiological effects of the medicine; rather, it is the result of an interaction between the effects of the medicine, the therapeutic setting and the mindsets of the participant and the therapists.” (Treatment Manual: MDMA Assisted Therapy for MDMA. Michael Mithoefer, 2017).
Researched populations of effectiveness: PTSD, Social Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, Substance Abuse Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder, Anxiety Associated with Life-threatening Illness, Eating Disorders, OCD (ongoing research is and will continue to identify other treatment populations including healthy volunteer studies).
