Abstract
- The article discusses Australia's historic decision to allow authorized psychiatrists to prescribe psychedelic medicines, such as MDMA and psilocybin, for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and treatment-resistant depression. It explores the potential benefits of these treatments and the need for further research, while also addressing challenges such as cost and public subsidization.
