mfigueroa+FollowMDMA Might Not Be a One-Size-Fits-All FixTurns out, your brain’s wiring could predict if MDMA will actually help with trauma symptoms. Stanford researchers found that people with super-reactive “threat” circuits in their brains saw the biggest changes (like less fear and better emotional control) after taking MDMA. But if your brain isn’t as jumpy, you might not get the same benefits. This could mean brain scans might one day help match people to the right mental health treatments—no more endless trial and error! #Health #MentalHealth #MDMA40Share
Brandon Burke+FollowMDMA: More Than Just a Party Drug?Scientists just found out MDMA (yep, ecstasy) can actually rewire brain systems tied to serotonin and oxytocin—aka the chemicals behind mood and social vibes. They tested it on zebrafish (surprisingly similar to us!) and saw that the right dose made them less anxious and more social. Too much, though, and things got weird. This could mean new treatments for social anxiety or PTSD are on the horizon. Wild, right? #MDMA #MentalHealth #ScienceNews #Health15145Share
