I don’t really understand a lot about the treatment of PTSD, but if this really works, that’s great:
Virtual reality is being used to treat soldiers returning from Iraq with post-traumatic stress disorder.
The immersive system combines realistic street scenes, sounds and odours to allow patients to relive traumatic events in a controlled environment.
During the “exposure therapy”, a clinician determines the intensity of the events the soldier experiences.
The prototype system is currently being trialled in the US but has already successfully treated four volunteers.
OR how about we begin investing money in other ways of living aside from making war all over the earth….
i know. just another radical and loony thought.
See The Wimp Factor for your answer.
oh, i didn’t ask a question.
