Information on blast injury, PTSD and brain injury

Brain injury is known as the signature wound of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan due to the high number of service members injured in blasts caused by improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and rocket propelled grenades.

Concussion or mild brain injury and PTSD are common diagnoses among service members and veterans.  The survival rate of service members with moderate and severe brain injuries is very high due to the advanced medical trauma care being delivered on the battlefield and emergency transport to trauma centers.

These books help service members, veterans, families and caregivers understand the causes, symptoms, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery process for blast injuries, mild brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder.
