Playing ‘Tetris’ after traumatic events could reduce the flashbacks experienced in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), preliminary research by Oxford University psychologists suggests.
Speaking of treatment for PTSD, the Economist published an interesting article last month about the (amazingly) successful treatment rate using Ecstasy (MDMA).
So the results of a clinical trial recently announced by Michael Mithoefer, a psychiatrist in Charleston, South Carolina, are encouraging. Twenty patients with PTSD who had resisted standard treatments—including both Ms Westerfield and the security contractor—were given an experimental drug in combination with psychotherapy. After just two sessions all of them reported dramatic improvement. The compound, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA, is not new. Known as Ecstasy, it is illegal nearly everywhere.
I knew this without the need of any sort of study. Every time a girl rejects me I keep my mind busy with a quiz game for the rest of the day. And it works.
