um has she said i'm of doctors physical therapy at the us department of veterans affairs
00:00:06
and basically my job entails i'm i'm i'm the clinical
00:00:10
coordinator for the poly trauma and dramatic brain injury
00:00:14
for the um manhattan better instead of veterans hospital so as we all know
00:00:20
brain is a very complex and less i understood part of the body
00:00:26
and thanks all clinical trials research that words slowly i'm trying
00:00:31
to understand a lot more about our brain and uh
00:00:34
as we know all um from the research do that in terms of traumatic brain injury or can question
00:00:40
um the study says that women are more susceptible cocoa to concoction because of
00:00:46
some more breakable nerve fibres or the absence and them because of that
00:00:52
oh there's a lot of studies right now even i'm at an age
00:00:57
um would try to coordinate with an asian under federal agencies
00:01:01
the basic connect our ingress veterans and people in the armed forces
00:01:05
the basic uh participate in the clinical trials appear there too and especially the women veterans
00:01:12
so also from the study one of the study and um university of pennsylvania
00:01:18
they're talking about um in terms of like foreman or an gonna model
00:01:23
differences where the gender difference in all that they're actually talking about that there might actually
00:01:29
a a gender difference in terms of that biology for p. t. s. d.
00:01:34
so that is i believe from the study is was saying
00:01:37
in that um because of the prolonged release of the
00:01:42
stress transformers in a buddy so women are more susceptible
00:01:46
basically to have like a lingering or prolonged
00:01:50
state of and society which then leads to them being diagnosed with p. d. s. d.
00:01:55
so what is the department of defence due in about it i mean they're acknowledging
00:01:59
that there is like a big problem obviously in the military and veterans
00:02:03
being like majority man but there's an increasing number now of women's veterans that's really in fall
00:02:10
and being when and veterans remorse like for us like high incidence of having
00:02:16
like expressing sexual harassment and assault and which leads to more
00:02:21
p. t. as um what they're doing is is like basically
00:02:27
giving more importance now to treatment specially p. t. s. a. change the guidelines this year
00:02:33
to include more talk therapy aside from the medications that
00:02:37
i think this for veterans veterans affairs is known for like giving does medications all the veterans
00:02:44
and last stop eyepiece another with the new guidelines they wanna concentrate
00:02:48
more we dislike that for your talk therapy aside from medications
00:02:52
and also with my heart is a physical therapist but involving a product i mean to be high
00:02:57
and we try to advocate for women's veterans that only forty other veterans them you know
00:03:02

00:03:08

00:03:14
so all those being says like they're trying to kind of coordinate the here in
00:03:18
who the care for women's veterans because the that needs a lot of attention
00:03:23
to basically take out if if it needs of women i'm not only
