Prescription Ecstasy? US FDA Greenlights Ecstasy Trials for PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in people who have experienced a scary, shocking, or dangerous event. For instance, CJ Hardin, a veteran who spent three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been alcoholic and sometimes suicidal. A treatment trial for MDMA -- or ecstasy -- has helped him recover from trauma.
