Unfortunately, for well over a decade, the military and VA has had a policy of treating combat related stress problems with psychiatric medications, which have a host of Black Box side effects, including suicide, homicide, anger, hostility, poor judgment, etc.
Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) is a normal human reaction to what can be considered abnormal situations. The 'D' (Disorder) is added to PTS when the soldier or veteran can't return to normal functioning.
In this tell all book, Dr. Billings chronicles the VA & the Military’s decision to use brain/mind altering medications for residual effects of combat stress, why they do it, the effects on veterans/soldiers, and how new integrative treatment programs are now helping military veterans return to normal, healthy lives, without brain/mind altering psychiatric medications.
Leading the call for a more intelligent, more effective and humane treatment is Bart P. Billings, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, retired enlisted soldier, and Medical Service Corps officer (USA retired - 34 yrs.). He has successfully treated hundreds of soldiers with combat stress reactions and PTSD without psychiatric medications.
Dr. Billings is also the Director/Founder of the International Military & Civilian Combat Stress Conference, the longest running conference of its type in the world and developer of the “Human Assistance Rapid Response Team (HARRT)”readiness program, which helps soldiers and their families prepare for the stress and challenges of deployment. The HARRT readiness questionnaire is included in this book.
This book is a must read for anyone who knows or treats those with combat stress related problems, such as, PTS, PTSD, or TBI.
Praise for Invisible Scars:
“If we had read your book about the dangers of the drugs that the VA gave our son to treat PTSD, I am positive that he would be alive today. The cocktail of drugs given our son killed him. Since his death, we have been on a mission to help other veterans obtain drug free treatments for PTSD.”
Stan and Shirley White (Marine Corps parents)
“As much as we may wish for an elixir of drugs that could magically heal mental health disorders, there is none. And the side effects are often much worse than the cure. Dr. Billings has done yeoman service by underscoring this reality, as well as the grim dangers that result when we rely on psychoactive drugs as a curative. We owe him a thank you!"
David Brahms, Esq., B. Gen. USMC (Ret.)
