Active-duty US soldiers to receive MDMA therapy for PTSD next year

Hope that sessions of MDMA-assisted therapy could help soldiers fight longer by helping them process trauma

In two studies funded by the Department of Defense (DoD), 186 service personnel with PTSD will likely next year undergo multiple sessions of MDMA-assisted therapy.
