Bronx VA Conducting PTSD Study

Posted By Blackfive

"Persons who have experienced a stressful event commonly undergo a range of emotional and behavioral changes. Ignoring these experiences increases your risk for more severe readjustment problems in the future. If you are not feeling like yourself, now is a critical time to seek assistance." - Veterans Study Program blog by Amanda Bell

Looks like this is a win-win if you have or think you might have PTSD and are in the Bronx area.  I think this will be a huge issue that we'll be facing for years to come so please enroll or help in the study if you can.  The full info is at the Veterans Study blog, below is some background:

We are currently enrolling veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF). You may qualify for this study if you are a veteran who is having difficulty adjusting to daily life as a result of the stressful experiences during combat.

Some common signs of readjustment needs:

o Irritability
o Difficulty sleeping
o Always on guard
o Bad memories
o Less interest in activities
o Problems with relationships
o Anxiety

If you are interested in assistance, you may be eligible for our treatment study. Study participants are provided with counseling at no cost, and/or may join the clinic at the James J. Peters VAMC.

Why participate?

If you have readjustment needs as a result of combat-related stress, you have the opportunity to seek assistance, as well as to help many others who are going through a similar experience. Research is important for the understanding of combat-related stress, so that we may learn the best ways to support people who are dealing with these issues.
