Comment. A key challenge in military medicine has been the treatment of the mental health of military service members who have been deployed in operations in recent years. The most effective course of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been highly debated and is a central focus in the military community because of the large number of service members returning from deployment with PTSD. 1 More than a third of patients with PTSD do not recover even after many years, showing PTSD to be a chronic and costly illness to service members, their families, and society as a whole. 2 Traditional treatment of PTSD has not been uniformly successful because of comorbidities, side-effects of drug therapy, and time and energy needed for psychotherapy. 3 Pharmacotherapy has shown insufficient benefit in the treatment of PTSD, 4 while adherence and the treatment success of various psychotherapies has been disappointing.
