The VA is launching expanded trials of MDMA and psilocybin therapies for veterans with PTSD and mental health conditions in 2026.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is launching expanded clinical trials of psychedelic-assisted therapies—using MDMA and psilocybin—for veterans with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, marking a major step in mainstream mental health care.
The research, involving nine VA medical centers and set to begin in early 2026, follows years of advocacy and growing bipartisan support, despite regulatory setbacks like the FDA’s rejection of a Lykos Pharmaceuticals MDMA application in late 2024.
The trials, conducted under strict federal oversight, include preparatory counseling, monitored dosing, and integration therapy, aiming to offer new options for veterans unresponsive to traditional treatments.
While progress is underway, challenges remain due to evolving FDA expectations and the stigma surrounding psychedelics.
