The video of virtual Iraq shows us how they are treating patients with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) by allowing the patient to go back in the virtual world to Iraq so hopefully the patient can gain control over their life and come to terms with this disorder. I was surprised with the success rate of this treatment. While in the virtual world they are able to smell, hear and see people dying and what goes on around them when they are over there but they are not injured in the virtual world.
Question 1. What do you think of this treatment and do you think it will work with PTSD?
Question 2. If you were suffering from PTSD would you do this treatment?

1. I hardly think that the treatment would work because these men and women are begin placed right back into the same situation.
