military war simulations help ptsd soldiers

shared by Erin Waxman on 01 May 13 - No Cached
  • War simulations are being used by the military to mentally prepare and test soldiers for the stressful conditions they could face during war. Researchers hope to prevent future cases of PTSD among combat veterans through new initiatives they're testing now.
  • the U.S. has had about 2.5 million soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and an estimated 300,000 have been diagnosed with PTSD.
  • The Department of Defense is spending millions of dollars to figure out effective ways to treat and, hopefully, prevent PTSD, Noonan said.

      very important investment. PTSD is a horrible illness and with so many soldiers developing it, we need to find a way to prevent it.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • "These (simulations) are intended to expose the recruits to combat conditions to teach them that they can trust their training, that they can actually do their jobs, perform first aid, execute whatever orders they're supposed to be executing, under combat condition," he said. "It also introduces them to fear and stress under combat conditions."
  • who tosses volunteers out of airplanes with sensors all over their bodies to try and understand why combat veterans develop PTSD.

  • Parodi has found that some people possess an optimal fear response, which she calls the "warrior brain" — meaning they think clearly during a stressful period and once the stressful period ends, their fear response returns back to normal.

      I wonder how much this has to do with the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the nervous system.
  • "As far as to the application to preventing PTSD, I think what the military ultimately wants to do is to be able to develop and incorporate into their training program, similar to what the SEALS are doing, where you can expose recruits to stressful situations," he said. "But you also want to arm them with the psychological tools — that they need to recognize, that they need to function at maximum capacity during the stressful situation. And when it ends, they need to put it behind them and move on."
  • But the current treatment has a success rate of just 40 percent.

    PRI Public Radio International article talks about the use of war simulators BEFORE going into the war for soldiers to hopefully prevent them from getting PTSD in the future. Very interesting to see that doctors are trying to stop this illness even before the soldiers go into war.

  • The prisoner was then issued a uniform. The main part of this uniform was a dress, or smock, which each prisoner wore at all times with no underclothes. On the smock, in front and in back, was his prison ID number. On each prisoner's right ankle was a heavy chain, bolted on and worn at all times. Rubber sandals were the footwear, and each prisoner covered his hair with a stocking cap made from a woman's nylon stocking.

      Prisoners and guards where given uniforms to play their roles in the experiment. Chains where put on the prisonners so they could really feel like they where stuck in prison.

  • The guards were given no specific training on how to be guards. Instead they were free, within limits, to do whatever they thought was necessary to maintain law and order in the prison and to command the respect of the prisoners.

  • At 2:30 A.M. the prisoners were rudely awakened from sleep by blasting whistles for the first of many "counts." The counts served the purpose of familiarizing the prisoners with their numbers (counts took place several times each shift and often at night). But more importantly, these events provided a regular occasion for the guards to exercise control over the prisoners
