Amid the national attention on the study of psychedelics in treating posttraumatic stress disorder and other psychological health conditions affecting military service members and veterans, this story by the San Antonio Report examines the potential risks and benefits through the personal story of veteran Brian Mosely. Alan Peterson, PhD, a clinical psychologist at UT Health San Antonio and director of STRONG STAR, tells the San Antonio Report that he sees potential in using psychedelics like ibogaine and MDMA in treating PTSD, but as complements to established psychotherapy treatment such as Prolonged Exposure.
