MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy
|
This is so interesting. It sounds kind of similar to using psychostimulants like Ritalin for depression and social anxiety rather than just ADD. An uncle of mine used them illicitly in the 1960's because of his severe social anxiety (which looking back may have been undiagnosed Aspergers also). He had to stop, but he loved them, he said they made him the person he wanted to be. His pdoc wouldn't give him a prescription later in his life because of a heart condition, but he would have liked to. I would just wonder if the using MDMA would ultimately be a letdown for the patient because they'd only be able to use it for a limited number of sessions?
