When soldiers get deployed the main goal is for them to complete their duties and make it back to home just like they left. Getting back home in one piece includes what is inside as well, the brain. The complex system that runs everything from your emotions, anxiety, optimism, pain management and impulse control is shaken up by extreme experiences like exposure to death or dreadful experiences. War veterans may experience flashbacks, nightmares, intense anxiety, panic attacks, depression and self-destructive thoughts or actions long after the trauma has occurred. The cause of this is because the neural pathways in the brain have actually been damaged and transformed by that experience, this is called Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.
Even without a cure doctors throughout the world have found treatments for patients to cope with the disease. People with PTSD usually have to get a treatment called Cognitive Therapy. In cognitive therapy, a therapist will lead them into understanding and change how they approach the trauma and after it happens.

In the U.S. approximately 3.2 million adults or 1.2% of the population in a given year have Schizophrenia ("MentalHelp.net," 2009). It causes disabilities across numerous realms of normative life, including attaining vocation, finding a mate and attaining quality of life (Guillem, Pampoulova, Rinaldi, & Stip, 2008; Marder & Fenton, 2004; Spaulding et al., 1999).

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that is mixed with behavioral therapy because of its form of problem solving. It is thought of as a self-help approach that is used to investigate an individual’s cognitive process along with their feelings and behavior. Research states that “Self-help treatments involve minimal cost, resources and disruption and as such are acceptable to the wider population” (Boyle et al., 2011). The goal of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is to redirect the patterns of cognitive thinking or actions that individuals find difficult. In other words, it is intensely used to discover an individual’s negative form of thinking, investigate how it is related to their negative behaviors

Karlin, Mickey Trockel, Maria Gordienko, Jerry Yesavage & C. Barr Taylor (2016) wanted to examine effects of therapy on veterans that were living with depression.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is now one of the most widely used therapeutic treatment regimes in use for the management of MDD. CBT combines elements of talking therapy as well as insights from neuroscience in an attempt to help patients manage their own symptoms and formulate strategies for dealing with risk factors and triggering experiences. CBT has proven an effective treatment model. One of the best known large-sample studies of the effectiveness of CBT was undertaken by Rush et al. in 2006. Their work found that of their 3,671 patients who were treated with CBT and antidepressants there was a 36.8% remission rate per phase of the treatment. Study by Jakobsen et al. (2011) considered the effectiveness of CBT compared with nonintervention
The main premise of psychological disorders are rooted from how an individual understands and takes things into perspective, and how well they are able to regulate their emotions depending on different circumstances (Nature Neuroscience, 2007). There are numerous types of emotional illnesses that can be treated by very precise talking treatments. For instance, psychodynamic therapists are based off of Freud’s theory’s, so they help people deal with things such as addictions, eating disorders and depression by considering how previous experiences have been taken into your thought process and dealings the current time. Cognitive therapists look at how we think and how we act in response to those thoughts- in either a negative or positive way.

She explains moments of hypervigilance, irritability, difficulty sleeping and concentrating, dissociation, and moments of memory loss. Within the following weeks the psychologist diagnoses this patient with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As she completes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the combination of psychoanalysis, childhood sexual abuse is identified. However, as the client digs deeper into the trauma, she begins to suffer from symptoms of memory loss in accordance with the trauma.
Attention is the cognitive function which mediates all the other cognitive domains. If an individual has impaired attention capacity, the performance on other cognitive tasks is likely to get affected. In a recent study (20) it is stated that mild AD cases have poor selective attention which is likely to get improved through cognitive rehabilitation, thereby boosting the process of learning and the quality of daily life among these patients. The main aim of the study was to review the effectiveness of the cognitive rehabilitation on selective attention of people with moderate cognitive impairment (early AD). It was a quasi-experimental study with pre/post testing. The study comprised of 40 patients, randomly divided into experimental and
