Yesterday’s post on the Brain Damage Blog provides awareness of the need for consideration to be given to the “organic component of the emotional symptoms experienced after combat”.

The author Gordon Johnson, an attorney specializing in brain injury, believes in making sure that not only should the emotional aspects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) be evaluated and addressed, but that the possibility of an organic injury (concussion, etc.) has to be weighed and not ignored.

We think this is valuable advice and should be well heeded if you or someone you know has been diagnosed with PTSD. For the rest of the post, please click here. For a full discussion on PTSD, check out this link.
