Understanding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Its Impact on Our Veterans
by Dr Stephen Sinatra
Heart MD Institute Translate This Article
10 October 2015
On 31 October 2015 Heart MD Institute reported: ''One technique that I often recommended to highly-stressed patients, and one I have practiced for years, is Transcendental Meditation (TM). Multiple studies over many years show that TM superbly calms the stress of wired-up, burnt-out, anxious, and depressed civilians.'' It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of health.
Cardiologist Dr Stephen Sinatra cites several published studies on TM and PTSD: ''In 2011, the journal Military Medicine published a study showing effectiveness in reducing PTSD in veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Participants had a 50 percent reduction of symptoms after just eight weeks of meditation.
''And back in 1985, a report in the Journal of Counseling and Development demonstrated a significant reduction of symptoms among Vietnam War veterans practicing TM for at least three months. A comparison group utilizing psychotherapy was found to have had no significant improvements during the same time period.''
