I strongly encourage anyone reading this to watch Dr Ben Sessa's lecture on using MDMA to treat addiction and trauma. https://youtu.be/11u7iX4j1tA

The reality is, SSRIs and other pharmaceuticals that have been used to treat common psychiatric illnesses (anxiety/depression) have dismal outcomes and fail the vast majority of patients that they have been given to.

Fortunately, there is a growing body of evidence that MDMA and psychedelic assisted therapy could revolutionize the treatment of mental health disorders.

Unfortunately, for the last 50 years, governments, industry and the military industrial complex (together with the MSM) have spread lies and scaremongering to block the therapeutic use of these life-changing therapies.

Here is another video for anyone wanting to know more about the topic:

I'm optimistic that the next few decades will bring about better approaches to these massively underserved (and largely exploited and discarded) people.
