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.
Imagine coming home from war, only to find yourself battling invisible wounds. In this thought-provoking episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eric Newhouse to discuss his impactful book, 'Faces of Combat, PTSD & TBI'. Newhouse sheds light on the harrowing experiences of soldiers dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
His work offers a sobering look at the mental health challenges faced by veterans and the ripple effects on their families and communities. The conversation takes a deep dive into the Montana solution for aiding soldiers, highlighting the importance of family-centered recovery and specialized veterans courts over incarceration. Newhouse also explores innovative treatments like alpha wave therapy, providing a glimmer of hope for those grappling with these conditions.
He poignantly notes, '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'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of combat on mental health and the pathways to recovery.
