Holy moly, is this for real? That since 1990 (through the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan), the U.S. has lost roughly 7,400 troops in combat but more than 30,000 veterans to suicide, a ratio of about four to one? That's KRA.ZEE. I knew it was high, but wow, that really puts it in perspective.
Clearly, mental health professionals need a new approach, and that's what In Waves and War explores.
In short, more than 400 Navy SEALs struggling with PTSD are finding legitimate hope in psychedelic therapy because—against all odds—it's working.
Yep, you read that right: SEALs are going to Mexico, dropping 'shrooms, and coming home less traumatized and FAR more well than ever before. And yeah, many of their problems run WAY deeper than combat trauma....
A REALLY interesting documentary.
Definitely worth checking out and researching more if you or someone you know is a veteran who's struggling.
And clearly, from the stats, more are than are not.
