The Times newspaper has reported on Dr Michael Mithoefer, a psychiatrist from South Carolina who's been treating people with MDMA, "... the pure chemical compound, not the black-market Ecstasy bought by recreational users." Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
Anyone with PTSD should go and see Dr Fraser Gibb then (The ecstasy of life as a psychiatrist), I think he'll be able to help.
In all seriousness though, I'm beginning to think someone's pulling my leg. Ecstasy for PTSD? LSD for this 'n' that to unlock the thoughts of mental patients? Cocaine, or should I say methylphenidate, for kids with ADHD?
Does this mean the bog standard drugs don't work? Or is the doc having a bit of an away-day to see what happens? You know, bit of 'experimentation', all in the name of science?
