=========================================== 9 Videos on How TM Can Assist With Ameliorating PTSD =========================================== Research found veterans suffering from PTSD who practiced the Transcendental Meditation® technique showed significant reductions in depression, anxiety and family problems after four months, in contrast to veterans randomly assigned psychotherapy. Research also shows the TM technique also directly affects the neurobiological aspects of PTSD, resulting in more balanced serotonin and norepinephrine, regulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and more coherent, integrated brain function.

David (Infantryman, US Army): I like the way it is now, and I want to keep it this way, which is good, because like I said, for the last five years I didnt want it this way. I could tolerate it, but I didnt want to be the way I was. And thats what TM has done for me, and thats what I could say to everybody. If you want to be the way you are, you know, do some TM, and then, you know, go ahead and live again. Thirty-five percent of U.S. soldiers deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001 are said to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms include anxiety, hyper-vigilance, startle response, nightmares or flashbacks, insomnia, anger and withdrawal. The Veterans Administration says nearly half of all veterans with PTSD have never sought help; of those who do, half receive inadequate treatment. Everyday in the U.S., 18 veterans commit suicide. The David Lynch Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c))(3), established Operation Warrior Wellness to teach the stress-reducing Transcendental Meditation technique to 10,000 veterans with PTSD and their families.
