Title: Conquering the Challenges of Crafting a PTSD in Veterans Research Paper

Crafting a research paper on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in veterans is no easy feat. It
requires extensive research, critical analysis, and a deep understanding of both the subject matter and
the academic standards expected. For many students, navigating through the complexities of this
topic can be overwhelming, leaving them feeling lost and unsure of where to begin.

One of the primary difficulties students encounter when writing a thesis on PTSD in veterans is the
emotional weight of the subject matter. Delving into the experiences of veterans who have faced
traumatic events during their service can be emotionally taxing, making it challenging to maintain
objectivity and focus on the academic aspects of the paper.

Furthermore, the breadth of literature surrounding PTSD in veterans can be daunting to navigate.
With numerous studies, theories, and perspectives to consider, students may struggle to synthesize
information effectively and present a cohesive argument in their research paper.

Time constraints also pose a significant challenge for students undertaking this task. Balancing
coursework, part-time jobs, and personal commitments while dedicating the necessary time and effort
to research and write a comprehensive thesis can feel like an impossible task.

His research interests center on diagnostic studies in patients with musculoskeletal symptoms, and
rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. This includes an assessment of what care is given and to whom,
how effectiveness is measured, what types of mental health care providers are available, what
influences whether a service member or veteran seeks care, and what are the costs associated with
that care. PE therapy works to reverse that avoidance with corrective information and the
organization and processing of the memories associated with the trauma. 7. The triggers are different
in each person, which is why it's a good idea to keep a headache diary. \n When your child gets a
headache, write down what was happening before the headache, how badly it hurt and where, what
helped, and anything else about it you can think of. Yes, if you usually drink high-calorie beverages
(such as sweetened sodas, fruit juice, or alcohol), consistently replacing them with water can aid
weight loss over time. \n \n The evidence: A dramatic reduction in calorie intake by substituting
water for higher-calorie beverages could certainly lead to long-term weight loss. There were also
numerous studies that were funded by more than one organization. Sign up for email notifications

access relevant populations to conduct studies on how trauma exposure and PTSD influence the
brain or behavior, the applicability of basic research to treatments for PTSD will continue to be
limited. One participant from each group also developed noninfectious urinary retention, requiring
the temporary use of a catheter. Thus, despite a large increase in the number of veterans seen in
SOPPs from 2004 to 2012, a smaller percentage of veterans were receiving treatment in them. As a
result of limited resources, less data will be obtained (Jakupcak et al., 2011). Most methods may not
be viable as they require more time than may be available. Fourth, polypharmacy is a continuing
concern; it may result in improvement in PTSD symptoms, but it can also result in more side effects
and be a factor in noncompliance to treatment. If you or your child relied on these products, you
may be scrambling to find medicines that will help you stay healthy without breaking the bank. \n
What's essential to know, and what questions should you ask your health care provider. The Army
has established 44 embedded clinics in brigades and plans to establish them service-wide (U.S.
Army, 2013a). Embedded health teams consist of 13 providers and staff, including at least one
uniformed officer who is a mental health care provider (Blakeley and Jansen, 2013). New and
promising work in preclinical neuroscience reviewed by the committee includes research to
understand BDNF and its receptors (tyrosine receptor kinase B and some potential new targets such
as neuropeptide Y and neurosteroids. I was going to the VA telling them everything and submitting
claims for almost 18 years. 10%-20%. US military personnel, as well as war veterans, experience
PTSD symptoms such as numbness, negative thoughts, feeling emotionless, and inability to focus on
other elements such as school or work and fright by loud noises. The symptoms of this disorder vary
from person to person. Today, much greater attention and resources are being directed toward
stopping human trafficking. Despite the veteran’s attempts to mitigate the effects of war trauma, it is
apparent that most veterans do not have the capacity to cope with war traumas, which, in turn,
detrimentally affects their readjustment to civilian life. Symbicort provides this combination in one
inhaler. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews 30(2):188-202. Social workers are instrumental in
helping restore health and wholeness to children who have been trafficked. An early-intervention
study found that a course of three sessions of modified prolonged exposure (PE) therapy in an
emergency department was associ-. Additionally, the VA announced its plan to prevent and end
homelessness among women veterans. On average, veterans reported 3.4 potentially traumatic events
during their lifetime. Her work has appeared in Newsweek, O Magazine, Good Housekeeping, SELF,
and the Boston Herald, among other venues. The support groups that yield the most effective and
positive results for soldiers are informational (52.7%) and community (19.3%) systems. However, the
current generation of female veterans may face unique and novel mental health threats (Burns et al.,
2014). Traditionally, males in military service have struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) due to experiences within war zones.
The American Pregnancy Association says about a quarter of pregnancies end in miscarriage. The
dotted line between Vet Centers and Direct Care is to show that some Vet Centers provide
psychotherapy for PTSD or may refer veterans to another VA setting for direct care.
Overgeneralization is another research area that is very active (Dunsmoor et al., 2011; Lissek, 2012).
It is hard to watch how much these attacks hurt them and how much they affect their life. Although
TRICARE is sometimes used to describe only purchased care, the committee uses the term in a
broader sense: as a wide-reaching health care provider for DoD beneficiaries that includes service
members, retirees, and their families and delivers direct care through MTFs and purchased care
through network and non-network civilian health professionals, hospitals, and pharmacies
(TRICARE Management Activity, 2013). You can explore implicit biases with these tests, which
were developed at Harvard and other universities. \n On an individual level, stress management
training can reduce blood pressure. The committee recognizes that this database is not static and that
new projects may have been funded since June 2012. Particularly promising are the clinical
investigation of low doses of anesthetic drugs, such as ketamine, and the increasing evidence base on
prazosin. Care would never be jeopardized due to a person's choices around organ donation. We
used to think it had to do with blood flow to the brain, but that does not seem to be the case. The
results of this particular study were considered highly accurate due to the good attempt made at
regional representation (the sample was drawn from 24 regions) and the large, representative sample
(1,965 participants) who took part (Tanielian and Jaycox, xxi). Fischer (p. 2) captured the actual
trend of increasing PTSD prevalence among servicemen, particularly those who have been to
battlefields. One report documents 23% American soldiers who came back home from Iraq and
Afghanistan, were diagnosed for PTSD. Fischer, Hannah. A Guide to U.S. Military Casualty
Statistics: Operation Inherent Resolve, Operation New Dawn, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and
Operation Enduring Freedom. Both male and female Vietnam veterans have high divorce rates
because of PTSD. For that reason, doctors typically treat a patient with antibiotics before initiating
the procedure. \n Alternatively, the biopsy needle can be passed through the peritoneum, which is a
patch of skin between the anus and the base of the scrotum. In some cases, it was difficult to
determine who was funding a particular study. There were also large amounts of data that was
collected by government sources. Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 34(11):637-644. Treatment
approaches are similar to those of other SOPPs. Despite their inclusion in various services, the
representation of women in military forces remains limited (Carlson et al., 2013). Through this, the
government aims at ensuring better mental care for future veterans returning from war. Symbicort
provides this combination in one inhaler. Women’s stress disorder treatment teams are similar in
structure to the PTSD clinical teams and provide face-to-face and group treatment to female
veterans. The support groups that yield the most effective and positive results for soldiers are
informational (52.7%) and community (19.3%) systems. A frenotomy can be done by simply
snipping the frenulum, or it can be done with a laser. \n However, nothing should be done about a
tongue-tie that isn't causing problems. While a frenotomy is a relatively minor procedure,
complications such as bleeding, infection, or feeding difficulty sometimes occur. The major barriers
to such a consortium are VA and DoD restrictions on the sharing of genomic data. Some of the
research reviewed by the committee is summarized below with a discussion of its relevance to PTSD
psychopathology and treatment. But with support, treatment, and lifestyle changes, people can
overcome their PTSD and live happy, healthy lives. While national surveys have found about 90% of
Americans support organ donation, only 40% have signed up. So, you may need to switch to another
brand to stay healthy.
Those studies are assessing virtual reality alone or in combination with other enhancing treatments,
such as imaginal PE, DCS, and trauma management therapy (Beidel et al., 2011; Difede et al., 2013;
Reger et al., 2011). In addition to providing more and better options for PTSD treatment, virtual-
reality exposure therapy may be useful for overcoming barriers to care by improving treatment
appeal, acceptability, and adherence. Many war veterans find it difficult to settle back in the US and
adjust to ordinary life because of their experiences during military conflict. Presentation to the
Committee on the Assessment of Ongoing Efforts in the Treatment of PTSD. Along with high blood
pressure, this can also include chronic low-grade inflammation, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. \n More
than 25 years ago, Williams created the Everyday Discrimination Scale. Studies do not show a clear
benefit for all babies or mothers. Although veterans in this cohort comprised only 16.5% of the VA
patient population, they accounted for about 41% of acute inpatient discharges, 40% of outpatient
encounters, and 34% of total costs. More recently, virtual human conversational agents have been
created that can credibly fill the role of standardized patients by simulating diverse varieties of
clinical presentations. Insomnia difficulty of falling asleep and interrupted sleep. The committee
commends NIH for these efforts, and it encourages DoD and VA to use best practices learned from
NIH to improve the efficiency and transparency of their own mental. Those values must be viewed
with caution, however, as there is no comparison group. Notably, over three million women in the
United States have served in the military over the course of two hundred and fifty years. The
committee suggests that reasons for the decline may include staffing shortages, high treatment
dropout rates, and treatment completion in fewer sessions, but no data are available to confirm this.
Any one of these factors alone could result in PTSD. Some studies ask about family functioning and
a service member or veteran’s relationships with his or her family, but only one study was identified
in which the family is considered specifically as a barrier to or asset for PTSD treatment. Patient
outcomes are assessed by using the clinician-administered PTSD scale and the PCL-M, but no
program results have been published. Other medical departments, clinics, and programs that focus on
treating such medical conditions as chronic pain, amputations, spinal cord injuries, and severe burns
have embedded psychologists, social workers, or other mental health personnel to provide
collaborative care for PTSD and comorbid mental health conditions. For instance, one biological
distinction when reviewing prevalence of suicide is the gender of the individual. It is also recognized
that the treatment of PTSD is significantly impacted by previous experiences of sexual trauma.
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry 35(6):1357-1375. According to
medical practitioners, PTSD is classified under the cluster of anxiety disorders that are characterized
by aversive experiences that are considered anxiety-related, behaviors and physiological responses
that materialize from exposure to psychologically traumatic occurrence (Keane and Barlow 89). They
serve as advocates, listeners, and influential defenders to veterans, especially women. Even so, just
as calorie-restricting diets are hard to stick with over the long term, following a water-only plan may
be easier said than done. \n \n Burning fat requires water. Kang and his colleagues found that 12.1%
had PTSD at the time they were surveyed. The authors of the report stated that, in general, the
programs did not collect data on their effectiveness and that, even when they did, such data were not
publicly available for assessment. Click here to buy this book in print or download it as a free PDF,
if available. For instance, Zivin wrote that men are more likely to commit suicide, a position disputed
by Tanielian and Jaycox (p. 56) who highlighted females as being more likely to commit suicide after
suffering mental illnesses. Other attributes of a high-performing system are fostering new research on
innovative approaches for PTSD management; expediting translation of new research findings to
people who have PTSD and to their health care settings; striving to anticipate future research
directions to address knowledge gaps; and exploring new ways to reduce stigma and promote access
to and dissemination of evidence-based treatment. However, very few studies have focused on this
matter. Nearly all the men who got a TRUS biopsy (and with few exceptions, none of the TP-treated
men) first received a single-day course of antibiotics. Unfortunately, lingering pain can often serve to
remind veterans of their traumatic experiences, exacerbating their PTSD symptoms.
