Today, I rise to tell you about the work my colleague, General Jack Bergman, and I are doing as co-chairs of the Congressional Psychedelics Advancing Therapies Caucus. The PATH Caucus, as it is known, is addressing the rising mental health challenges faced by millions of Americans by advancing research on breakthrough therapies like psychedelics. Almost 50 million Americans struggle with some kind of mental health issue, as well as our veterans. Of course, our veterans carry those hidden scars from their service to this country. The issue of mental health has never been more urgent for America. That is why we are spreading awareness in Congress to increase Federal funding for more research and to chart a new path for those who are struggling with mental health. Mr. Speaker, we have a duty to the American public to study how we can better address mental illness in this country. Recognizing CyberPatriot Champions Troy High School
