Sen. Paul, others call on FDA to “rely on evidence” for PTSD therapy appeared on www.tristatehomepage.com by Jana Garrett.
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – U.S. Senator Rand Paul, among others, urged U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Robert Califf to “rely on scientific evidence and data” as the FDA considers approval of MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MDMA-AT) to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Officials with Sen. Paul’s office say MDMA-AT could help address the mental and behavioral crisis, especially among American veterans.
“Existing treatments and medicines for PTSD, the last of which FDA approved nearly 25 years ago, have not decreased the frequency of suicide within the veteran community. As a nation, we cannot allow our veterans to continue to suffer in silence and must identify treatments proven to drastically decrease the adverse effects of PTSD,” wrote Senators Paul, Michael Bennet, Thom Tillis and Kyrsten Sinema.
Officials with Sen. Paul’s office say every year, 6,000 U.S. veterans die by suicide – and untreated mental health challenges, including PTSD, put veterans at heightened risk of homelessness, addiction and depression. Breakthrough therapies and scientific advancements such as MDMA-AT “offer new hope” for those suffering from PTSD, but more research is needed to ensure these treatments are safe and effective.
“The potential for groundbreaking advancements in PTSD treatment is within reach, and we owe it to our veterans and other affected populations to review these potentially transformative therapies based on robust clinical and scientific evidence,” continue the senators. “The rigorous, evidence-based review process by the FDA will be critical in making informed decisions that could offer a new lease on life for many individuals, including veterans, affected by this condition.”
