New Treatment for Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome

If you saw the Nov. 26, 2006 edition of "60 Minutes" on TV, you learned about a promising new treatment, and sometimes cure, for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Actually, I discussed many of these ideas in my memory-improvement book and posted an explanation of this specific idea months ago on my Web site, and I have now updated it to report that physicians have actually embraced the findings of memory research and shown that treatment with a common blood-pressure drug, propranolol, can have strikingly beneficial results on PTSD.

See the latest update at my Web site. Locate "Medical Issues" on the Contents page and click on the item involving PTSD.

    Stress Syndrome is a disease which, while not recognized by any official Medical Literature.
    But you can prevent from this disease by this one word which can save your life :Delegate! Of course, some of the things which you delegate people to do won't actually get done, but then you can blame it on someone else. You did your best. If people complain about it, delegate it to THEM next time. See if they do better.
