They performed an autopsy of a suicide and found he had what is called chronic traumatic encephalopathy. They performed autopsies on several other veterans, and found the same thing. With luck this could help bring further understanding to p.t.s.d., treatments, and preventions. Here is the article I found...yeah it is just an op-ed piece, but a google search shows it is a legitimate discovery, although the media seems rather silent on it. Veterans and Brain Disease |

Traumatic Brain Injury in civilian life (mostly from auto accidents) involves PTSD so often that a lot of therapists have suspected that PTSD was caused by TBI, and that the combat PTSD resulted from closed head traumas that didn't seem serious, or may not have been noticed. And yes, why hasn't anyone picked up on this? |

In Veteran Suicides From: Rapparee My fear is that suddenly this will become THE sole and only reason for things like PTSD -- and that ain't necessarily so. Which might be why the mainstream media has stayed away from it -- not only do they not understand it, but they like a single cause magic bullet solution and there really isn't one. |
