On 19 July 2017 OpEdNews.com reported: We live in traumatic times. . . . For veterans and victims of war and terror this can be life shattering. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) [is] a debilitating condition that can last for decades unless properly treated. One approach shown to be highly effective is Transcendental Meditation (TM) . . . . Ten studies published in professional journals have shown TM rapidly heals 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.
Research began in the 1980s with Vietnam War veterans (Journal of Counseling and Development, 1985); in 2011 the journal Military Medicine reported a 40-55% reduction in PTSD in current war veterans . . . . TM has also proven effective with civilians suffering from PTSD. A study on female prisoners and two studies on Congolese war refugees with high levels of symptoms showed that within four months the majority became non-symptomatic. Ninety percent of the refugees became non-symptomatic within 30 days of learning and practicing TM (Journal of Traumatic Stress, April, 2013; February, 2014).

Research also indicates TM can increase resilience, and 'build up an inner immune system that keeps the stress from devastating us'. For more information and citations on this and other TM research published in Psychosomatic Medicine, Journal of Counseling and Development, Journal of Psychosomatic Research, and International Journal of Neuroscience, visit: David Lynch Foundation and PTSD Relief Now — Research.
