Researchers found that World Trade Center responders with PTSD showed molecular changes associated with faster biological ...

The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is leading a new multi-center clinical trial to evaluate an interdisciplinary rehabilitation model for military veterans and first responders with mild traumatic ...

The human brain is made up of billions of interconnected cells that are constantly talking to each other. A new study published in Nature zooms in to the single-cell level to see how this cellular ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder is usually framed as a psychological wound, but a growing body of evidence suggests it can also speed up how quickly the brain itself appears to age. Instead of simply ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be linked to accelerated brain aging among World Trade Center (WTC) responders ...

The degree to which unwanted traumatic memories force their way into a person’s consciousness—and the intensity with which sufferers feel they are reliving the experience—may be shaped by the physical ...

Did you know that patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often struggle to forget traumatic memories, even long after the danger has passed? This failure to extinguish fear memories has ...

A novel therapy involving electrical pulses to the vagus nerve might unlock the brain’s hidden potential to rewire itself, and heal where words and pills fall short. Initially described as early as ...

Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...

Retired Army General Peter Chiarelli has endorsed the idea that post-traumatic stress disorder should be renamed post-traumatic stress injury to emphasize its putative organic basis. This proposal has ...

PTSD is a relatively common mental health disorder that often requires multi-modal treatment. One adjunctive treatment is eating the right food to reduce symptoms of PTSD.

The diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has undergone much more than a minor tweaking or superficial facelift in the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5. This guidebook to ...
