A Multidisciplinary Approach to Mild Traumatic Brain Injury By Kristina Bruno
In the article Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq, Charles Hoge, et. Al. explains the study they conducted due to the medical concern and rarely understood issue of the Iraq war and its potential long-term effect of brain injury. For example, mild traumatic brain injury is strongly associated with post traumatic stress disorder. However, after adjustment for PTSD and depression, those who suffered from brain injuries were not associated with physical health outcomes or symptoms. The results of this study suggest the reinforcement of the need for a multidisciplinary approach in primary care.
The article, An Interdisciplinary Treatment Approach for Soldiers With TBI/PTSD: Issues and Outcomes, the importance of an interdisciplinary approach is discussed and looked at even further. The video linked below also discussed some statistics and data about PTSD in soldiers, as well as the difficulties associated with treating it in today’s medical world.

PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that is extremely hard to diagnose. As with many other diseases, we must be careful not to associate a certain stigma with the disorder. One of the reasons it is so hard to diagnose people with PTSD is because there is no single set of symptoms associated with the disorder. Much of this confusion has to do with the fact that everyone reacts differently to traumatic situations. As your video describes, PTSD can sometimes be stigmatized with weakness, which is wrong and and can be harmful to soldiers who would shy away from seeking help for something that is a mental illness.
