Sleep Quality Improvements After MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Sleep disturbances (SDs) are among the most distressing and commonly reported symptoms in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite increased attention on sleep in clinical PTSD research, SDs remain difficult to treat. In Phase 2 trials, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)–assisted psychotherapy has been shown to greatly improve PTSD symptoms. We hypothesized that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy would improve self-reported sleep quality (SQ) in individuals with PTSD and be associated with declining PTSD symptoms.

Psychosociale problemen bij vluchtelingen : Op de vlucht in eigen hoofd

Tijdens en na de reis, de kampen en de asielcentra, is er steeds die ándere vlucht: die voor de aanhoudende problemen in je hoofd. Problemen zijn helaas niet enkel van praktische aard wanneer je plots vluchteling wordt.
