Games Help Soldiers Deal With Stress Issues
Biofeedback through video helps returning troops fight post-traumatic stress disorder. This is good news for our forces overseas as the Iraq conflict continues and when our men and women come home they will need to get adjusted back to normal life. The three-year, $3 million study, the first of its kind for U.S. soldiers, will include veterans from both Iraq and Afghanistan. Good news for all on this one.
The study comes on the heels of the Department of Defense's decision in January that military personnel be assessed three times in a 90-day period after their return from Iraq in an effort to head off the development of post- traumatic stress disorder. About 18 percent of the approximately 130,000 soldiers and Marines currently serving in Iraq are at risk for the illness, according to a 2004 study on mental health problems and combat duty in Iraq and Afghanistan
