Listen "S3E10: From Research to Recovery: How the VA is Changing PTSD Care"
Episode Synopsis
PTSD is often called the “invisible wound” of military service. For many veterans, it shows up in nightmares, sudden triggers, or the feeling of being constantly on edge, making everyday life feel like another battlefield. But there’s hope: PTSD is treatable, and recovery is possible. Since 1989, the Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Center for PTSD has been the world’s leading resource for understanding and treating this condition. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Paula Schnurr, the center’s executive director, about how science becomes healing—through groundbreaking research, innovative therapies, and real stories of veterans reclaiming their lives. Dr. Paula Schnurr is the executive director of the National Center for PTSD and had previously served as deputy executive director of the center since 1989. She is also a professor of psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the editor of the Clinician’s Trauma Update-Online.
