he had a other mission of helping soldiers with posttraumatic stress syndrome. is that something he battled himself? >> though chris kyle was never officially diagnosed he struggled with everything that goes along with being in combat and he did have some struggles. but, as you mention, almost immediately after coming back to the united states he got involved with a nonprofit called fitgo. a dallas-based fitness company but a signed project called the hero's project. what they do, miguel. they work with soldiers suffering from ptsd. chris kyle was very involved in that community, but as i mentioned he was more proud of being a family man. as you imagine, those deployments he was gone, he was gone all but six months. he only spent six months at home after three years. incredibly difficult on him and his family. in a recent interview, i spoke to our affiliate and talked about those pressures. >> emotionfully it is very taxing. >> took it as an ultimatum. either you get out or she and my kids were going to be gone. >> of course, he looked at that and thought the ma

the ptsd, posttraumatic stress syndrome doesn't kick into place until about 90 days afterwards. so there was a request the 90 day remark around there, there was a follow-up with our mental health professionals in the department. so, i think that that was instituted. i just want to make sure. >> yeah, it was, but again in the last 100 something days we haven't had one. >> are bsu folks have followed up with the last couple of officers. i know they follow-up every 36 -- there's a follow-up days and weeks after with the officer. they're checking. and also we're integrating -- we've integrated some of this -- some of what bsu does with regard to posttraumatic stress is going to be a natural consequence of a lethal force encounter.

staerted a foundation to help veterans battling posttraumatic stress disorder. the gunman accused of killing him was a former marine who suffered from ptsd. our pentagon correspondent barbara starr joins me by phone. barbara, you've been dicking into this. what more do you know? >> this sad story emerged late last night, randi. the pentagon is trying to assemble what they can at this point about the service record of chris kyle and the man taken into custody, 25 years old. he was caught by police in texas after a brief pursuit, has been arraigned on two counts of capital murder. another man was shot along with chris kyle at this shooting range. the initial reports are that the men had gathered there and they were helping this former marine learn to shoot again. chris kyle had been very involved in helping veterans with posttraumatic stress. so there is a belief that the marine -- the suspect may have been involved with posttraumatic stress. i have to tell you, i think all of that still remains under investigation as to exactly what transpired. throughout the nav

we don't know the motive, kyle is known to help veterans with posttraumatic stress. the three went to the shooting range together in one vehicle, according to police. >> there has been some mention of the suspect's mother was a schoolteacher for what we understand for a long time. she may have reached out to mr. kyle to try to help her son. >> ralph is being held on three million dollars bond and is in solitary confinement. he's charged with two capital murder counts. miguel? >> what did ralph tell police, susan? >> we don't know exactly. they say he did talk with them. but didn't reveal much, except to say that he did not confess to them apparently only allegedly to his sister and brother. law enforcement shared their feelings, however, about the two men who were killed. >> it's a sad day. we lost two american heroes. my heart goes out to the family, their friends and loved ones. we suffered a loss yesterday. >> he's not expected to enter a plea until his next court appearance at the earliest. >>> chris kyle is being remembered as a devoted father and husband who tr

you mentioned posttraumatic stress without the disorder.re is a lot of discussion whether ptsd should be renamed posttraumatic stress or pressure madigan injury. there is a lot of validity behind taking a look at the name. many people do not want to be diagnosed as having a disorder on injury -- an industry -- an injury is considered to be more honorable. in washington, d.c., we see people who develop psychosis as a result of using marijuana or the synthetic marijuana. i do not think we know and not yet about the use of marijuana for ptsd. i think we should export it. there should be research done on it. we may be able to use some of the materials and cannabis -- in cannabis. there are different derivations. i would not at this point support canada's use for ptsd without more research. host: in the federal -- $6 billion in 2012. readjustment counseling, $189 million. guest: readjustment counseling is helping people cope with returning to the u.s. the military altered that. it is harder than you think after you have been away for a year or 1

>> >> we're posttraumatic stress disorder post modern, present, prefuture but a little bit of future today with history that comes with us. >> stephen: wow. it's a complicated artistic time to live in. >> no, no it's very, very easy. they told me when i came here be yourself, be in the moment and that's how you are. >> stephen: i should be myself. >> be yourself, be in the moment. you'll be modern. [laughter] >> stephen: is that design? >> oh, yes, it is. could be better but it's design. >> stephen: okay. okay. now what is left to design though? because we've got two different sizes of ipad, aren't we done? >> pretty much so. i agree with you. we could have a third size and a few more. the idea is to make the ipad disappear. >> stephen: what? what will i show the people who don't have one? >> you show your retina. >> stephen: like the google glass that thing. >> and beyond without the glasses either. it's to make everything disappear so you can be in things, in the interfaces. >> stephen: go to this one here. explain to the people what we have? >> this is a designer that decided to h

ruth has told authorities he was suffering from posttraumatic stress order. >>> secretary of state john kerry joked about the pressure following hillary clinton and the former condoleezza rice. >> can a man actually run the state department? i don't know. as the saying goes, i have big heels to fill. >>> and president george h.w. bush is feeling great and he went out to dinner saturday night at a restaurant in houston. his first night out since being released from the hospital. he had a martini and saved for two hours. >>> a couple in arkansas are enjoying the profit. a whopper of a fishing trip. lottery officials say the couple bought two lottery tickets, both winners. one ticket for $50,000 was bought on the way to fishing. the second ticket bought on wait home was ace $1 million jackpot. congratulations. >>> in health news now, a new japanese study says chewing gum can boost alertness, upwards of 10%. they say average reaction time is faster with gum chewers improving temporary blood flow to the train. >>> the busiest day of the record for one company. mcgraw hill tumbled 14% air civ

what is going on in people's brains, this is a mental condition, we are suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. i know that i am. i am missing my boy. dearly. and i need some closure, i don't have any. i'm tired of crying, i am tired of begging. if there is something that i can do, to help you i will. let me know. i mean, i have all of the names of the people that shot my son. i have them. i can come and give them to you. they are in his file. something needs to be done. get a subpoena, subpoena them. subpoena them. make them come to court and talk. that is all. >> thank you miss brown. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, public comment is closed and line item. >> please call item number five. >> discussion of possible action to move the police commission's dark or no meeting day from the second wednesday of each month to the third wednesday of each month. action. >> commissioners, we added to this to agenda because we have taken the second wednesday of the month off, however one of the commissioners has the conflict with the democratic central committee. >> two act

officer meets with the folks from the behavioral science unit and he is provided information about posttraumatic stress and about resources he that would be available to the officer. two other things that happened are a range debrief and a modified force options debrief. that's the simulator. the officer goes back out to the range, makes sure they retain the ability to effectively manipulate, physically manipulate the weapon. they were put through several shoot, no shoot scenarioses in the simulator to make sure that they retain the ability to navigate those correctly. the return to duty panel convened, as i said, five business days -- excuse me, i think i jumped. it's five business days after the incident. and the purpose per the general orders is to discuss whether it is appropriate for the involved officer to return to duty. the focus there is either issues that have been discovered at this time that would preclude the officer from returning to his or her regular assignment. this is a closed personnel session because the confidential material that is being included in the panel that obviously

of them are -- more and more are needing more than just a check, a job, needing support around posttraumatic stress disorder, mental health, reunification with family members. some people are dealing with substance abuse. very complicated issues that many of our veterans are dealing with and i'm looking always for ways to continue to support veterans, whether through cathay posts, through through the art commission, or any other auxiliary organizations that do exist. the other thing i'm looking for is people when it comes to leadership and service, you don't need a title to be a commissioner to do it. you pick up, you see something needs to be done and you do it, right? so, much like before i was running for office, i was actively involved in the community. they always say if you do something when no one is looking, if you'll do it when no one is willing to pay you, you're doing it from a place of love. that's what i'm looking for, so see if you've had a commitment already established to the san francisco haunted, veterans community or to the larger, to the larger bay area, something larger

if we save the patient, they have to deal with many operations, icu care, post tau matt he -- posttraumatic stress. head injuries, disfiguring operations and long-term care and many, many other serious problems. we cannot forget the physical scars, but there's also emotional scars after they are injured. at san francisco general hospital a number of gunshot wounds has declined in recent years. in 2007 we cared for 381 shooting victims in our emergency department. 2011, the last year we have data on, that number is now 182 shooting victims. while this is a substantial drop, i submit to you that one is too many. these numbers represent the patients who are transported to the hospital, not the victims who died at the scene or do not come in for care. many people are killed from homicides, but suicide taking one's life with weapons is much more common in the united states. it is a silent killer since more than twice as many people die of suicide than homicide historically in the united states. there is an hep dim i can of violent crime committed with guns and is a serious public health problem

the army says that they believe they can make better soldiers who can protect themselves from posttraumatic plan is to boost their physical and emotional and psychological resilience army leaders say they want a plan in place by february 15th to combat depression substance abuse and violence and suicide mental health experts say it is a huge task but it's necessary in spite of suicides and mental health breakdowns in the military. protecting your bones may break your heart a new study linked bone strengthening calcium supplements with an increase for heart disease the national institute of health conducted the study on 4000 middle-aged men. there were 20 percent more likely to die than men who did not take calcium supplements. it'sit's looking like we are back to above freezing. hey, it's me progressive insurance. you know, from our 4,000 television commercials. yep, there i am with flo. hoo-hoo! watch it!

contracted treatment providers use either beyond trauma and/or seeking safety therapy for trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder and substance abuse. one treatment provider says that 99 percent of the women who come into treatment have lived through some type of severe trauma, often domestic violence or sexual abuse. the women learn they are not alone, that their traumatic event happened to others. it helps them to open up, talk about, and learn to heal from their experience. a relapse doesn't mean you're out and we're done with you. it means you had a relapse, now let's keep going. we've had families where a parent has been close to graduating dependency drug court and has had a slip-up. and the true test of that particular parent is: okay, i made a mistake, i'm done, i'm going to walk away, or okay, i made a mistake, i'm going to reengage immediately and actively do what i've been taught to do, utilize it not only for myself because that's the most important thing, but recovery must be for the individual first and foremost. i remember when i graduated, and she came down off of the bench to com

clearly the posttraumatic stress disorder is one, but a lot of affective disorders are oftentimes really trauma based. a lot of the issues with people with the axis ii or the personality disorders, the people that are labeled borderline personality, we oftentimes see a untreated early experience of physical, sexual abuse, abandonment, neglect, or the witnessing of violence. ms. cain, you're working now as a peer-to-peer counselor in our center. talk to us about, what was your initial experience with trauma? well, all of my life i've been traumatized. i grew up in a household where i was sexually abused by men in the community that used to visit my mother. and i think i really vivid, a lot of the flashbacks at age 9, i'm pretty sure, probably happened earlier, but a lot of that comes from age 9 is when i realized that, oh my goodness this is not how it's supposed to be, and i started drinking as a result because i couldn't cope with it. at that early age? at age 9, i drank every day. at age 9 because it helped me to numb out what was going on in my life. so, after being in a household of
