PTSD: Two Components Memory and Psychiatric

Longitudinal Investigation of PTSD

Watch this video from a PhD candidate Erin Dickie as she describes PTSD with a two fold condition, one memory and the other psychiatric. She used modern fMRI imaging to point out the strong correlates within her research. The video and power point is 20 minutes long, but if you want to know more from a research standpoint then this will help. Keep in  mind that this video was presented at her university, so it is intended for mental health professionals.
