Saving The Mental Health Of Our Veterans

Roughly one in five of the 2.7 million Americans deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 experience post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health challenges. In this episode, Bob Gilpatrick and Rollie Culp discuss an ongoing study by The Pet Effect.org that looks into whether or not service dogs can help veterans with depression and anxiety recover. They also share a great book by Cory Blake and David Cifu called Overcoming Post Deployment Syndrome. Bob and Rollie identify some easy to use techniques to help overcome anxiety and depression that can help you get back to living your best life.
