PTSD Diagnosis “Changes” for American Vets
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Military vets are exposed to trauma. No secret there. However, the rates of American vets suffering PTSD is skyrocketing because of repeated 1-yr. tours in war zones. Effective July 12, 2010, the VA has a new regulation (subject to termination after the Obama administration leaves office). Described as “relaxed rules,” the vet’s symptoms (irritability, flashbacks, deep depression, and other emotional or behavior problems) will be used by the military clinicians to diagnosis PTSD. The change drops the requirement that events that caused the symptoms be documented.

PTSD Diagnosis, A New Tool – MEG
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Prolonged exposure to unremitting stress damages a person’s health. The research is unequivocal (read the science in our Research Library). Mental health impact begins with anxiety. In worst cases, trauma can result. The diagnosis can be elusive because of the strict definition in the DSM-IV-TR (the diagnostic bible) and the reluctance of clinicians to admit what Heinz Leymann knew back in the late 1980′s — work trauma is real. Now comes a potential new neuroscience tool to complement the diagnostic toolkit — MEG. MEG stands for magnetoencephalography. PTSD can be detected with 97% accuracy using this non-invasive, but still experimental, procedure.
