We’re started recruiting for our dose optimization MDMA assisted therapy study at the Bronx VA @MSPsychedelics —this one’s for veterans w/PTSD.

Thank you @SecVetAffairs for stopping by. Pleasure to meet you and show what we’ve built at @DeptVetAffairs for our veterans. We’re excited about the expansion of our Center @MSPsychedelics at the VA and the two new studies that have just begun here with MDMA and psilocybin.

Visited the VA Bronx Health Care System today to have a look at some of the groundbreaking research they are doing regarding potential psychedelic treatments for Veterans. Excellent work!

Great to hear this!

As I’ve said before, we are looking at psychedelic treatments as well as other alternative treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and virtual reality therapy. We are also working with Congress to approve more treatments.

I am committed to doing what we can to make the veteran’s care better. Thanks for the feedback!
