A great new app for Veterans suffering from PTSD

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

I'd like to pass this on to the many active military and veterans I know (and don't know) out there that play DDO.

There is a VERY COOL new iPhone app just released, called PTSD Coach. It is actually free. Please pass this out to anyone that you think can benefit from such a product.

PTSD Coach was designed for Veterans and military Service Members who have, or may have, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This app provides users with education about PTSD, information about professional care, a self-assessment for PTSD, opportunities to find support, and tools that can help users manage the stresses of daily life with PTSD.

Tools range from relaxation skills and positive self-talk to anger management and other common self-help strategies. Users can customize tools based on their preferences and can integrate their own contacts, photos, and music. This app can be used by people who are in treatment as well as those who are not. PTSD Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth & Technology.

Here's a link to the Department of Veteran Affairs to learn more about the product, and even has some screenshots. Included is a link to the iPhone Store where you can download this program. I hope it can prove helpful to someone out there...

The more outlets for info like this the better, as a lot of guys/gals will be trying to deal with their issues in silence, behind locked doors.
