Most of us have no idea what we ask people to do when we put them in harm's way and what people have to endure when they're there, but more so when they come home re-entering.
Ever thought about the unseen scars that veterans carry long after they leave the battlefield? In this compelling episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eric Newhouse to dive deep into the world of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) among combat veterans. Eric, who has an impressive background with The Associated Press and the Tribune, brings his profound understanding and firsthand experiences to the table.
He shares moving stories from veterans and their families, painting a vivid picture of the struggles they face in their journey to recovery. The conversation takes a closer look at family-centered recovery approaches, emphasizing the crucial role that loved ones play in the healing process. Eric also sheds light on veterans courts, a vital resource that offers treatment instead of punishment for veterans who find themselves in legal trouble.
This episode isn't just about highlighting problems; it’s about exploring solutions too. From discussing innovative treatments like alpha wave therapy to calling for more research into effective PTSD and TBI treatments, Eric and Mary provide a comprehensive view of what can be done to support our veterans better. If you're interested in understanding the deeper impacts of combat on mental health or seeking ways to support veterans in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
With heartfelt anecdotes and practical insights, it’s an eye-opening discussion that underscores the importance of compassion and informed care for those who've served.
