Ecstasy is a drug that can refer to the substance 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or a heightened state of consciousness and intense, pleasant experience. As MDMA, it has stimulant and minor psychedelic properties and is sometimes used in conjunction with psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The term can also describe any altered state of consciousness where awareness of one’s surroundings is diminished or the experience is intensely pleasurable.
