  • This is NOT a "mental health" injury! This is a STRESS injury that results in impairment to the stress response that causes a metabolic disruption and if not treated properly... it results in an Acquired Brain Injury. This is also the reason that Vets have such high rates of a growing number of chronic and life-threatening health conditions that later appear in people who have been diagnosed with 'PTSD'. Tom Tarantino can call this a "mental health" issue until his blue in the face! It's a TBI!
