Dr. Ben Sessa is a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, and is currently leading the first clinical trials for the therapeutic use of MDMA in a psychiatric setting in the United Kingdom. As Ben goes over in this episode, the way the psychedelic compound MDMA works on the brain of an individual dramatically allows them to process and discuss extremely traumatic experiences and effectively work through them. MDMA, in a therapeutic setting, shows enormous potential, and as Ben stated in his TED talk and elsewhere, MDMA may be as revolutionary to psychiatry as antibiotics were to modern medical practice.
