Spotting and dealing with the PTSD epidemic, for our troops and our society. Suicide rates among Army troops increased 80 percent between 2004 and 2008, relating to a recent report released in Damage Prevention. Within the last several years, the number of soldiers going back from the Middle East with mental and physical wounds has continued to climb. Corresponding to Dr. Simon Rego, a supervising psychologist at Montefiore INFIRMARY, "Unlike another time in record, U.S. military suicide rates now appear to have surpassed those among similar civilian populations. Hence, it is critical that people address this growing public-health problem." Within this groundbreaking booklet, Dr. Liebert, a psychiatrist who may have examined a huge selection of violent offenders with combat experience, and best-selling creator Dr. William Birnes uncover the disturbing truths of why post-traumatic stress personal injury is increasing, how it's threatening society, and the way the military is failing woefully to properly solve this serious issue. In addition, they describe the newest research and methods which may have been developed to help troops repair their mental and emotional wounds. Wounded Heads dissects several high-profile cases of suicide and massacre, including Personnel Sergeant Robert Bales's murder of 16 Afghan citizens and Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who exposed fire on a room full of defenseless American troops. Through these reports the authors paint a definite picture of the very real risk PTSD poses to individuals and society. They then continue to explain how to analyze and understand the mind abnormalities associated with PTSD, the diagnostic problems confronting military medication today, and both immediate and ongoing medical alternatives.
