In an article published in the March 2016 issue of the Journal
of Anxiety Disorders, investigators in
the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Medical University
of South Carolina (MUSC) report that veterans who fall just below the threshold

subclinical PTSD. "The study shows not only that we can treat those
experiencing subclinical presentations of PTSD, but also that those with
subclinical PTSD may actually respond better to treatment than those with more

Acierno, Ph.D., Daniel F. Gros, Ph.D., and Nicholas P. Allan, MS. Read more Here
