Not so, I'm afraid. That would be odd when all the related germanic languages also use a genitive s. It seems to indicate a lost 'e', which itself was inserted rather randomly because, in the immortal words of Terry Pratchett, "spelling had'nt been invented yet"

PTSD != depression

Also, the point of MDMA therapies is not the immediate effects of the substance, which would require continued intake, but to effect lasting change from the experience.
There is more than enough anecdotal evidence for this (also for other conditions than PTSD) to warrant serious investigation, but of course the research needs to be conducted by professionals to professional standards, not by these raving (heh) idiots.

The proposed terms are also misleading.

While "permissions" does roughly correspond to "authorization" in common parlance, in a technical setting "permissions" are usually just one abstraction among several that go into implementing authorisation.

As for "login", that is just one application of authentication, involving the creation of some sort of stateful session beyond the login event itself.
