Though thousands of soldiers are diagnosed with PTSD, many more suffer without treatment. Among those who do seek treatment, doctors are finding another, distinctly different problem called traumatic brain injury, or TBI. The two conditions have similar symptoms, but the causes are quite different. While PTSD is a psychological disorder that can be treated with medication and therapy, TBI is physical injury to the brain that requires cognitive treatment to help rebuild function. "Fundamentally, PTSD is a disorder where you remember too much, whereas TBI is a disorder where you don’t remember enough," says Dr. Gregory O’Shanick, National Medical Director for the Brain Injury Association of America.

Chris Schultz' NFL Season Preview:EACH NFL CLUB FALLS INTO ONE OF THREE CATEGORIES -TSN
Posted by: Administrator in Sports |http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/chris_Schultz/?id=332180
Whenever I try to assess or evaluate a team's playoff possibility before they have even played their first game, I ask if they are rebuilding, reloading, or refining. Those are three distinct and different categories of assessment, with specific challenges for possible success.
First, if you are rebuilding, you are doing just that – whether it's with a new coach or the reality of lack of talent, the truth is you have no playoff shot this year and in all likelihood over the next three years. Although the future looks bright you just don't know how the players will react and respond to a 16-game NFL schedule.
