A Real Warrior

Major Ed Pulido

A US Army veteran describes what it was like to experience a severe blast injury in the Iraq war that affected him both physically and psychologically. 17 surgeries and many months in hospital saved his body, but it took more than that to heal from PTSD that also resulted. Now retired, he works to inspire others to seek help. The military media campaign Real Warriors profiles a series of veterans who suffered from PTSD and demonstrated the strength to seek assistance in recovery. See all the videos here.

PTSD with TBI

Sandra Kiume — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:44:00 +0000

title Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury: Current Issues
description “…issues related to diagnosing PTSD in individuals with mild to moderate TBI, prevalence estimates and treatment strategies.” Some technical glitches and poor quality video, with slides in separate PDFs, so it’s a bit unwieldy but worth viewing. It seems to have been attended by only nine or so people so I’m glad to give it a wider audience. Part of the ongoing webcast series for professionals, Idaho Traumatic Brain Injury Virtual Program Grand Rounds.
