Advancing Treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Hybrid Public Meeting: In-Person and Virtual
September 6, 2024 | 1-3:30pm (eastern)

PTSDThe Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA, in support of FDA’s ongoing focus on understanding medical need for PTSD treatment with the goal of facilitating treatment development, convened “Advancing Treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,” a public meeting with stakeholder comment.

This hybrid event, with both virtual and in-person attendance options, featured a panel discussion with federal partners to explore efforts to accelerate treatment development for PTSD, including psychedelic drug development. Then we opened the in-person and virtual stage for stakeholder comment, hearing from people with lived PTSD experience, including veterans, family members, and patient advocates; researchers and scientists; and drug developers.

Thirty stakeholders had up to three minutes each to present public comment either virtually or in-person. The Foundation worked to ensure a variety of representative voices were heard. If you prefer to submit written comments to the Foundation, please submit up to two pages of comments to PTSD@reaganudall.org. Comments will be accepted through September 20. Questions can also be submitted to this email address.
