Legion: Treatment for PTSD and TBI 'limited and inadequate'

"The nation’s largest veterans group says the Veterans Affairs Department and Pentagon are not doing enough to treat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

"Calling current medical protocols and treatments at VA and DoD “limited and inadequate,” the American Legion urged the two departments to provide more non-pharmaceutical care and invest research dollars in complementary and alternative medical therapies such as acupuncture, yoga and biofeedback....

“We have to keep these concerns on the front burner and ensure that VA and DoD have appropriate funding to provide the appropriate treatments of these veterans,” he said."
