“They’re fighting a lot of demons, and they need a lot of help,” said Colonel Ken Brown, a member of the Cullman Veterans of Foreign Wars.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - More of Alabama’s veterans could soon be able to access a treatment to fight symptoms of PTSD that’s currently only available in the Cullman area in north Alabama.

“It allows you to keep the memories that you have had in the past but you do not feel the anxiety, the anger, the depression,” explained state Sen. Garlan Gudger, R-District 4. “It’s a very emotional experience because they feel like the weight of the world has come off their shoulders after about a 15 or 20-minute procedure,” said Brown.
