President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order that will accelerate access to treatments for patients with serious mental illness, reaffirming his commitment to advancing solutions that provide hope to Americans with devastating, complex, and treatment-resistant conditions.

This will ensure that red tape does not delay the FDA's gold standard review of any potential therapy.
