PTSD and the VA Medical Centers

Posted on May 8, 2007 by Dr. Krakow   |  

This report has two interesting points. First, at the very bottom of the reporter’s story, we find quotes about resiliency and how the majority of trauma survivors don’t develop PTSD. I’ll be talking more about this next week in a post on the one month anniversary of Blacksburg. Second, while most of the reporter’s discussion is on the evaluation of PTSD, little is said about how limited the treatment options are for PTSD at many VAMCs. From our view, we are persuaded that undiagnosed sleep disorders exacerbate PTSD conditions in a large number of vets.
