Australia is the first nation to accept psychedelics as a form of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression (PTSD).

Following decades of demonization, MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy) and psilocybin, the key ingredient in "magic" mushrooms, will soon be accessible on prescription thanks to a historic decision by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration.

More than 300 million people around the world have depression, and one in five of them don't get better when they take medications. Trials show that psychedelic treatments work best when they are used along with talking therapies.

Around 30,000 Yanomami live in the territory, which has been the scene of strife since the 1970s when illegal miners began to swarm the area in quest of gold.
