Wyatt Andrews reported on CBS Evening News last night that “After 13 years of war, a new survey of veterans today found many suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome are not satisfied with the care they’re receiving from the Veterans Administration (VA)”
The “survey” was an American Legion survey of VA patients that found “59 percent of veterans report that their PTSD symptoms are not improving or are getting worse.”
The VA was quick to point out that “49% of PTSD patients did report getting better, and officials said they would use the survey to help them learn what works.”
One of the more interesting parts of the report was that “both the Pentagon and the VA have attacked the PTSD problem without measuring what kind of therapy works.”
