Soldiers' Traumatic Brain Injuries Cause Dementia, Aggression, Depression and Relationship Problems

By Mike Adams, December 7, 2008 | Key concepts: Soldiers, War on Iraq and Traumatic Brain Injury

What happens when you survive a nearby explosive blast that rocks your brain? Your brain suffers from thousands of tiny micro-bleeds that inhibit normal cognitive function, causing Alzheimer's-like symptoms that include memory loss and dementia.

Even worse, you may become more aggressive, experience endocrine dysfunction and die an early death.

This is the reality of soldiers who survive nearby blasts, say researchers from the U.S.-based Institute of Medicine. And until now, nobody has really looked into the medical consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

That has left thousands of vets lacking basic care for a condition that's very real because it's based on the internal scarring of the brain even though no external bleeding is apparent.

You can view the full report at the U.S. National Academies of Science: http://www.NationalAcademies.org

Hopefully, this report will help soldiers be diagnosed so they can receive proper medical care. U.S. history has seen far too many soldiers simply called "crazy" after returning home from war, with no regard for the very real physical and emotional suffering that may be contributing to observable symptoms such as impaired cognitive function.

It is quite sad, indeed, that soldiers who are called upon to give their lives for their country are often thrown to the wolves in terms of medical care once they return home.

By the way, I support the health of our soldiers even though I do not support the wars in which they are engaged.
