A PTSD IPhone App for Veterans

According to Informationweek.com, “The Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs launched the free PTSD Coach to help veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder seek immediate help or manage their symptoms.”

This is good news since to date it seems like the military has just shrugged off dealing with this very difficult, often debilitating  issue.

The article goes on to say this.

“The free application, now available via the iTunes store for the iPhone, also provides people with accurate information about PTSD, so the agencies are encouraging family members and friends of veterans suffering from it to download it as well. The agencies also plan to release an Android version of the app by mid-June.

However, the application is meant to be a supplement and not be a replacement for mental health treatment and other medical services available to veterans through VA benefits, the agencies said.”

We have also had some great results using the Sleepsonic Pillow along with some of our great relaxation audio CDs for PTSD. These veterans are getting some relief at least, without medication.
