POTENT PSYCHEDELIC DRUG BANISHES PTSD, SMALL STUDY FINDS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A small trial on military veterans suggests that ibogaine, a potent psychedelic drug, could be used to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study found that veterans with TBI symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression had the symptoms decrease by more than 80% on average after treatment. Ibogaine seems to have a broad, dramatic, and consistent effect. The data supports launching rigorous trials to test the drug.
