New charity has "new approach to military PTSD".

Sounds great but I would like to see the evidence it worked. How many were involved in this? How many veterans were healed with this? How long did the study go on and what were the rates of recovery and what were the years of follow up?

I get emails from them all the time. Sounds to me like if this treatment really worked, more of the Falklands veterans would have been aware of it and treated by it. If this treatment works then we need to see the evidence of it and use it. Right now, I'm skeptical.

Charity to help war veterans
2 hours ago

A new charity is to be launched on Thursday to offer treatment to war veterans and military personnel who have developed mental health problems as a result of their service.

Many men and women suffer from some form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the PTSD Resolution Project has been set up to offer help specifically to those affected because of their experiences in the armed forces.

Sufferers of PTSD can experience a range of different symptoms, including nightmares, panic attacks, flashbacks and depression.

The charity's director, Piers Bishop, said it offered a "new approach to military PTSD".

Mr Bishop said: "We offer radical, highly-focused treatment. We now consider it a humanitarian necessity to make it available to everyone who wants it."

The charity was set up after a pilot project was successfully carried out on veterans from the Falklands War last year.

The therapy, which uses relaxation techniques to take the patient's mind back and revisit their memories safely, helped many from the Falklands Veterans Foundation recover after 25 years of suffering.
