Going on now! HFA's live webinar: "Dignity Therapy: Honoring a Patient's Life Story and Legacy" "When someone is in distress physically, we provide 'intensive care.' But what if someone is in distress spiritually or existentially? 'Intensive caring' at that level includes a committed, quality connection with the person and affirming their worth through Dignity Therapy." - Harvey Max Chochinov, MD, PhD, FRCPC https://lnkd.in/eStAc-vx

Another report, this time from the government of Denmark, showing that MDMA is proven to be effective and safe for PTSD. https://lnkd.in/eBP4GaJc Key findings of the report include: Harm from recreational ecstasy use in the Netherlands is limited, with no or very low dependence liability, no clinically relevant persistent cognitive deficits, and a limited number of serious incidents. MDMA-assisted therapy appears to be an effective and safe treatment for chronic and treatment-resistant PTSD patients. With approximately 400,000 people suffering from PTSD and less than 25% receiving evidence-based trauma treatment, there is a significant unmet need for PTSD treatment. The Dutch government should facilitate the introduction and use of MDMA-assisted therapy as soon as possible. Given the unlikely registration of this treatment with the European Medicines Agency soon, the committee proposes starting a large naturalistic study to provide MDMA treatment to those who need it most and to monitor PTSD patients receiving MDMA. #MDMA #psychedelics #PTSD #Denmark #MDMAassistedtherapy
