PTSD

A double-amputee veteran has taken exception to the notion — and accompanying study — that some millennials are suffering from PTSD because Hillary Clinton did not win the 2016 presidential election.

Just six months of the therapy reduces insomnia, depressive mood and anxiety in PTSD patients.

During a Michigan state Senate hearing discussing medical marijuana, state Senator Rick Jones cut short the words of a military veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As a result, the veteran was removed from the hearing, undoubtedly causing many people – not just marijuana activists – to raise their eyebrows.(1)

From flashbacks and insomnia to anxiety and depression, veterans are coming home to America in need of help on many levels, and the last thing they need is "chemical" medicine. Though "psych" meds are prescribed almost across the board for "psychological" issues, the psychiatric manual DSM-5 doesn't say a word about nutrition and herbs. It doesn't have a section on Cannabis sativa either. If you actually read the latest psychiatric manual, a.k.a. the psychiatry "Bible," you realize that they have classified EVERY emotion as a disorder, so if a veteran happens to be a little anxious at the doctor while talking about what happened to them and their friends overseas, well, that's grounds for a diagnosis of the symptoms that "appeared at that time" -- and here come some scary drugs and complete lack of nutritional advice from a confused (allopathic) Western Medicine "witch doctor."

Dr. Rachel Yehuda says, “More than half of all people in the United States are exposed to the kind of event that can give you PTSD.”

A stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) may actually cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University and published in the journal Psychological Medicine.

A newly released study has found that healing touch, in combination with guided imagery (HT+GI) provides dramatic clinical reductions in post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, symptoms for military personnel who have been exposed to combat.
