PTSD Brain Game Big Money

When will Americans get it? When do they finally understand that PTSD "research" is a brain game that is costing us millions while veterans get worse? How many more years do they need to "invest" in something that has been occurring since the beginning of time? Now we have another $30 million going into putting implants into brains? When will enough be enough? This is yet one more attempt to revert back to the days of electroshock therapy.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $30 million grant to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (Mass General) to design an implantable deep brain stimulation device to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders. The device will be used specifically to reduce symptoms of debilitating conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The National Institute of Mental Health reports that PTSD affects more than 7 million American adults. The CDC reports that TBI was diagnosed in more than 2 million emergency room patients in 2010. That’s why this device could be a true game changer because there is nothing else like it.

In partnership with engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Draper Laboratories, researchers plan to build a device that monitors brain signals in real time and stimulates key areas in order to manage troublesome symptoms.
