from The Daily News Now! Business

FDA Accelerates Psychedelic Drug Trials for Mental Health Battles The FDA has announced a significant push to expedite psychedelic drug trials for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. This move comes after President Trumps executive order, which encourages federal health agencies to fast-track cutting-edge treatments. The FDA is now offering national priority vouchers to companies testing psilocybin for depression and methylone for PTSD. This development is hailed as a game-changer, prioritizing therapies with early promise in mental health care. Additionally, the agency has cleared the first-ever U.S. trial for noribogaine hydrochloride, a compound from ibogaine, aimed at alcohol use disorder. These steps mark a significant shift in the approach to psychedelics for healing, with research rolling and data under tight watch.
