MDMA-assisted psychotherapy

MDMA-assisted psychotherapy (MDMA-AT), also known as entactogen-assisted psychotherapy, is the use of prescribed doses of MDMA or sometimes other entactogens as an adjunct to psychotherapy sessions. MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including complex PTSD (C-PTSD). Furthermore, it is currently under investigation as a treatment for various other mental health disorders, including major depressive disorder, social anxiety in people with autism, alcohol use disorder, and mood disturbances in individuals facing life-threatening illnesses. Other entactogens that have been used besides MDMA include MDA, MMDA, and methylone.
