Topic: PTSD
Millions of people around the world suffer from anxiety disorders and PTSD. Although treatments are available, they don’t work for everyone, and we need better options. We are exploring a new method to help people with PTSD and other mental health issues. The idea is to use anesthesia to create a unique state of consciousness called “anesthesia-induced dreaming.” Early results suggest that these dreams can be significant and might help reduce PTSD symptoms.
