Synopsis:

A comprehensive guide for service members, veterans, and their families dealing with the all-too-common repercussions of combat duty, including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and musculoskeletal injury, and substance abuse.

Written by two doctors at the forefront of treating veterans and service members, Overcoming Post-Deployment Syndrome is a wellness handbook filled with evidence-based advice, exercises, and approaches for healing from post-deployment syndrome (PDS), preventing combat stresses from having a lasting negative impact, and returning to activity and wellness.

Offering a practical blend of state-of-the-art traditional and holistic medicine to help physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing, Overcoming Post-Deployment Syndrome provides:

• Personal vignettes of servicemembers who are going through the process of successfully reintegrating into their families, workplaces, and communities.
• A twelve-week basic training in self-directed healing arts.
• A wealth of community and government resources, tips, and suggestions.
• The means to integrate traditional and complementary medicine techniques to treat common symptoms.
