Psychoactive drug that acts as a stimulant and releases chemicals in your brain to give an energising effect, heighten your senses, and boost emotions like self-awareness and empathy. Experts are tapping into MDMA’s effects as part of therapy for severe post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) along with other mental health conditions.
Experts have found that when people with PTSD are given a certain amount of MDMA in a clinical setting, it helps them open up, so they can work through traumatic events.
MDMA (which is short for methylenedioxy methamphetamine) causes the release of neurotransmitters, chemical messengers to brain cells that change brain activity. They include “feel-good” hormones like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, as well as oxytocin, prolactin, cortisol, and vasopressin.
Psilocybin, a classic hallucinogen, is a chemical produced by more than 100 species of mushrooms worldwide. It has high affinity for several serotonin receptors, including 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C, located in numerous areas of the brain, including the cerebral cortex and thalamus. With legislation introduced in 1992, more work is being done to further understand the implications of psilocybin use in a number of disease states. Certain mental health disease states and symptoms have been studied, including depressed mood, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use disorder. There has been and continues to be in-depth reviews of the study design and results of psilocybin in each of these conditions and the clinical potential for use.
