Hines program joins VA trials at sites in Houston, New York, and San Francisco, creating the most geographically distributed clinical evidence-generation program for psꪗchꫀdeꪶic therapy in federal healthcare history.

The scientific basis for ps𝒾𝓁𝑜cy𝒷𝒾𝓃 in PTSD treatment is now substantial. Phase 2 trial data from MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psꪗchꫀdeꪶic Studies) and Compass Pathways have consistently shown clinically significant reductions in PTSD symptom severity following ps𝒾𝓁𝑜cy𝒷𝒾𝓃-assisted therapy sessions, with effect sizes that exceed those of the best currently available pharmacological interventions (SSRIs and SNRIs).

“I’m not going to be there next year, I’m term-limited out,” said Griffith, a Republican who served as chairman of the House Veterans and Armed Forces Committee. “It’s really passing the torch to a lot of the other veterans that are on the Veterans Committee and those that see the value in it.”

He was hopeful when he saw an announcement from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs last week for a new clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of M𝐷M𝐴-assisted therapy.

“PTSD is really a killer among veterans. If you listen to the testimony that’s been taking place over the last five years just in the Missouri House alone, the life change that it’s had for them is a really compelling reason why something like this would work,” said Griffith.

“Before this paper gets flattened into “i᥇oᧁa heals brain injury,” it helps to read what the paper actually says. The authors are careful.

Since there are special risks with i᥇oᧁa, we should be too.

Burton Tabaac, Robin Carhart-Harris, and Teresa Yung followed three patients through a participant-directed protocol using whole Tabernanthe I᥇oᧁa root bark. Not isolated i᥇oᧁainꫀ, which is the drug most clinics use. Lab testing put the material at about 3.8% i᥇oᧁainꫀ by mass.”

Answering the call to serve meant stepping toward danger when others stepped away. It demanded extraordinary courage, unwavering sacrifice, and a resilience forged in moments most will never witness.

Yet for many, the longest journey begins after the sirens fade, the mission ends, and the uniform is set aside.

Here are some ways you can offer your support during PTSD Awareness Month:
* Listen Without Trying to Fix: Offer a safe, non-judgmental space where veterans and first responders can share their experiences without pressure, advice, or expectations.
* Encourage Connection, Not Isolation: Gently invite them into supportive communities, peer groups, nature experiences, or trusted relationships where they feel seen and understood.
* Normalize Seeking Help: Remind them that reaching out for support is a sign of strength, courage, and self-respect - not weakness.
* Practice Patience and Compassion: Healing is rarely linear. Meet them where they are, honoring both their progress and their challenges with understanding.
* Support Nervous System Regulation: Encourage activities that promote calm and grounding, such as spending time in nature, mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, or creative expression.

The psꪗchꫀdeꪶics legislation now heads to the desk of Gov. Jeff Landry (R) for consideration.

Rep. Neil Riser (R), who presented the legislation to the House, said previously that the amendment adding M𝐷M𝐴 “put us in positive correlation” with a psꪗchꫀdeꪶics executive order recently signed by President Donald Trump “so that we can look at all different alternatives, including those that are beyond i᥇oᧁainꫀ that were listed it in the executive order.”

He discussed psꪗchꫀdeꪶics as a much-needed alternative treatment option for military veterans and others dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), saying that “for every soldier that’s killed in action, five commit su***de when they get home.”

Bipartisan congressional lawmakers say they’re working to codify into law an executive order President Donald Trump issued to streamline research and access into psꪗchꫀdeꪶic medicine.

During an interview with CBS News last week, Correa was asked about potential complications with the president’s action given that Marty Makary resigned as head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which plays a key role in advancing drug research and development.

“We need an all-of-the-above strategy when it comes to improving mental health treatments, and that’s exactly what VA is working to deliver,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins. “This trial represents an important step in safely evaluating new approaches and innovations to treat Veterans with severe mental health conditions.”

The VA’s trial, titled “A Randomized Controlled Trial of M𝐷M𝐴 ︀-Assisted Therapy for PTSD and Alcohol Use Disorder in U.S. Veterans,” will enroll approximately 80 Veterans and compare outcomes between those receiving M𝐷M𝐴 ︀-assisted therapy and those receiving identical psychotherapy with an active placebo. VA is coordinating with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and intends to share data from the trial with FDA.

Today, and all days, we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service.

“Over nearly 250 years, around 1.2 million Americans have died wearing the uniform. Those are the names we honor. Those are the families carrying a weight most will never understand.”
~ DJ Shipley

Each year, thousands of veterans die by su***de. Many carried PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other wounds long after they came home.

We remember them all.

“A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.”
~ Abraham Lincoln

Bergman, co-founder and co-chair of the Congressional Psꪗchꫀdeꪶics Advancing Therapies (PATH) Caucus, was featured as the first panelist during an event hosted by The Hill and titled “Rethinking Psꪗchꫀdeꪶic Treatment for America’s Mental Health Crisis.”

Bergman, who has been one of the most prominent advocates in Congress for advancing psꪗchꫀdeꪶic-assisted therapies for treatment-resistant mental illnesses, praised President Donald Trump’s April 18 executive order to accelerate psꪗchꫀdeꪶic drugs for FDA approval as potential medical treatments. Such drugs include ps𝒾𝓁𝑜cy𝒷𝒾𝓃, m𝑒𝑡hy𝑙𝑜𝑛e, i᥇oᧁainꫀ and similar compounds.

Noting he and other members of Congress are pushing for more money in the budget of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for psꪗchꫀdeꪶic research, he suggested there is a potentially narrow window of time to take advantage of support from the executive branch.
