A former Connecticut judge says the influx could lead to an unprecedented rise in court cases connected to the disorder. http://www.ptsdstress.com Politics and Society Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:38:25 -0500 The VA has only 1/3 of the mental health personal needed to deal with the 1M estimated vets with PTSD and PTSD symptoms according to the House Armed Services Committee and the National Center for PTSD. What is needed is a new approach to PTSD treatment that is inexpensive, confidential, effective and can reach these large numbers. There is currently an eye movement computer program on the internet at PTSDSTRESS.COM developed for veterans who had PTSD or traumatic stress and didn’t want to or couldn’t get any help from the VA, or found other therapy or drug treatments of little help There’s no therapist and no personal information or email required to use the program. It’s based on eye movement therapy that has been used successfully for over 20 years for PTSD and traumatic stress. There’s no registration. Sessions are anonymous. We don’t even require a name to use a credit card. Sessions are $10 to cover the cost of running the program. Many veterans and civilians have used this program over the last 3 years and most of them have seen their stress and anxiety decrease permanently. There are testimonials from users on the site as well as additional information on how the program works. The program was developed with the help of Dr. Tom Geracioti, a noted PTSD expert at VHACIN and the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine. The first session is free.
