On 3 February 2016 Psychology Today reported: A new study reports that regular practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) enables some active duty service members battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to reduce, or even eliminate, their use of psychotropic medications and to better control the often-debilitating symptoms of PTSD. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of health.

The January 2016 study, ''Impact of Transcendental Meditation on Psychotropic Medication Use Among Active Duty Military Service Members With Anxiety and PTSD,'' was published in the journal Military Medicine.

This study included 74 active-duty service members with PTSD or anxiety disorder, [many of whom] were seeking treatment for PTSD at Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center's Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic at Fort Gordon, Georgia. After one month, 83.7% of [those who learned TM] had stabilized and reduced, or stopped their use of psychotropic drugs to treat their PTSD conditions.
