Robert Shulman, MD: Treating Veterans for PTSD, TBI, and Moral Injury

Creating individualized treatment plans for veterans is crucial as they may be experiencing symptoms from PTSD, TBI or other concussive injuries as well as moral injury. Often, soldiers enter a war in their late teens or early 20s when their brain has not yet reached full maturation. Providers must consider all of a veteran’s physical and psychological factors when tailoring treatment strategies.

Hello. Do you happen to be in Pennsylvania? Thanks for the video

Issue is the military does not want to admit the impact of TBI of veterans although they said “TBI will be the signature wound of this war.” PTSD is not impacting my memory, vision, balance, and cognition. TBI is much more complex to treat rather PTSD is easier. So they combine the issues, punting one and staying with the other. For me this is serious, I have friends that have taken their lives that I firmly believe suffered brain injuries and were left untreated for them.

Thank you for your comment. We are so sorry for your losses. We agree there are several veterans with undiagnosed TBI and PTSD and some symptoms often overlap. The more we can talk about symptoms and injuries and what treatments work, the better.
