Summary
A new wave of epidemic is emerging that is posing serious mental health risks to people all around the world. This epidemic is caused by a club or party drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). It was found to improve psychotherapy beginning but later became popular as a street drug in the 1980s [1]. It is used primarily as a recreational drug associated with the “rave” culture and, as yet, has no accepted medical uses.
