1.17 billion people now live with a mental health disorder.
Mental illness is the #1 cause of years lived with disability on Earth.
And in 90 countries, <5% of people with major depression get minimally adequate treatment.
Awareness ≠ treatment. aetherinmind.substack.com/p/…

Overall, I thought the discussion was less focused on the tremendous unmet need. Maybe I’m a bit too cavalier, but I certainly felt the benefits outweigh the risks (with plenty of guardrail caveats).

Fascinating discussions online today surrounding the FDA's consideration of a new #MDMA treatment for PTSD 🤔
When is a double-blinded study not enough? How can you blind for a treatment that includes such pronounced and well-known effects?
Let us know what you think! ⬇

Neuroimaging, blood proteomics, and health data from 30 military personnel show that increased exposure to explosive blasts was associated with structural and functional brain alterations and a decrease in health-related quality of life. In PNAS: ow.ly/bfNA50RpWfO
ALT Associations between blast exposure and neuroimaging measures. Cumulative blast exposure was associated with alterations in measures of cortical thickness (Left), resting-state measures of functional connectivity (Middle), and measures of translocator protein (Right). For each modality, the anatomic regions that showed a significant association with blast exposure level in the adjusted regression models (controlling for age, combat exposure, and blows to the head) are superimposed on the surface of the brain. Orange colors indicate a positive association with blast exposure, whereas blue colors represent a negative association with blast exposure.

Really excited to share the hard work of a killer team. This project was a long time in the making and hit the COVID shutdown timeline and “penalty” but the team saw it through and it’s really great science.

We thank the 30 SOF participants, who bring the military one step closer to a diagnostic test for repeated blast brain injury.
