This week, The Deciding Mind attended a conference in NYC entitled "The Effects of Traumatic Stress" commemorating the 9/11 WTC attacks, at which the resulting medical consequences of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) were discussed. The conference was organized by Rachel Yehuda PhD who joins us to discuss the emerging arena of PTSD biomarkers and the need for people who are suffering from PTSD to get therapeutic help.

Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The keynote speaker for the conference was Dennis Charney, MD.

Join us this Sunday, 9/16/2012, for a fascinating presentation from one of the world’s leading experts on PTSD as we remember the events of 9/11.
