MDMA has already been approved for the treatment of PTSD in Australia as of June 2023, which makes Australia the first country to authorize the "love drug" or ecstasy as a treatment method.

QuoteThe research is the final trial conducted by MAPS Public Benefit Corporation, a company that is developing prescription psychedelics. It plans to submit the results to the Food and Drug Administration as part of an application for approval to market MDMA, the psychedelic drug, as a treatment for PTSD, when paired with talk therapy.

If approved, "MDMA-assisted therapy would be the first novel treatment for PTSD in over two decades," said Berra Yazar-Klosinski, the senior author of the study, which was published in Nature Medicine, and the chief scientific officer at the company. "PTSD patients can feel some hope."
