Combat stress.


I very much appreciate your December December: see month.  2008 article, "To Heal Psychological Trauma Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the psyche that occurs as a result of a traumatic event. When that trauma leads to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, damage can be measured in physical changes inside the brain and to brain chemistry, which affect the person's , Troops Relive re·live

 War in Virtual Reality," and the way the U.S. military is searching for new treatment of its soldiers returning from combar with post-traumatic stress disorder post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mental disorder that follows an occurrence of extreme psychological stress, such as that encountered in war or resulting from violence, childhood abuse, sexual abuse, or serious accident. .

When soldiers return from combat, it is our duty to acknowledge that they are not fighting machines but human beings that sometimes need our help to get back in everyday life. Your article reflects this in an honorable way. So whether it can be a virtual therapy or traditional talk therapy, we continuously must evaluate existing therapies and be open-minded for new ways of treatment as long as there is a possibility that it can help our soldiers. For their physical and mental health, no costs should be too high for any nation.
