David Emme, who was severely brain-injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) as part of a convoy transporting Iraqi volunteers for military training. Sgt. Emme was one of 450 service members treated at Walter Reed from 2003 to 2005 for traumatic brain injury (TBI). More than 30,000 service members suffer from TBI, with an estimated economic cost of $76.5 billion.\n\nKansas City Chiefs player Javon Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend before killing himself on December 1, 2012. CNN reported that pathology reports found Belcher suffered from brain disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE was found in the brains of 87 of 91 deceased NFL players who donated their bodies for research, according to a study released on September 18, 2015. As explained by Dr. Ann McKee, one of the doctors involved in the study, this is not a matter of sensationalizing an issue to create controversy for football fans or the NFL, \u201cthis is a very real disease.\u201d\n\nEvidence of CTE has been found in the brains of veterans, just as it has been found in NFL players.\n\nThe Veterans Clinic at the University of Missouri School of Law is pleased to present its second annual symposium focusing on the legal and practical issues arising from traumatic brain injury, a very real concern for athletes and our military.\n\n\n\nCopyright Information:\n     http:\/\/www.missouri.edu\/copyright.php\n\n\u00a9 2015 – Curators of the University of Missouri","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Missouri School of Law presents the 2015 Veterans Clinic Symposium – Traumatic Brain Injury: Lessons Learned from Our Nation\u2019s Athletes and Military. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The History of TBI Claims in VA Disability Compensation Cases Amy Odom National Litigation Director National Veterans Legal Services Program Living with TBI: Changed Lives Alex Pracht with a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/archives\/69720\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2015 Veterans Symposium – Panels<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[409],"tags":[696,38143,19,37653,16121,37655,38145,38146,37654,35251,34389,36104,38148,38149,38150,38151,38152,15957,40838,40840,38156,38153,38154,38157,38158,38159,38147,37010,38155,2722,40841,38161,34828,38144,37518,38160,40839,40842],"class_list":["post-69720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","tag-anxiety","tag-anxiety-and-stress","tag-anxiety-attack","tag-anxiety-books-free","tag-anxiety-disorder","tag-anxiety-games","tag-anxiety-panic-attack","tag-anxiety-panic-disorder","tag-anxiety-relief-games","tag-anxiety-treatment","tag-chronic-stress","tag-coping-with-stress","tag-cure-for-anxiety","tag-cures-for-anxiety","tag-drugs-for-anxiety","tag-help-for-anxiety","tag-herbs-for-anxiety","tag-law","tag-mizzou","tag-mu","tag-natural-cure-for-anxiety","tag-natural-cures-for-anxiety","tag-natural-remedies-for-anxiety","tag-natural-remedy-for-anxiety","tag-natural-treatment-for-anxiety","tag-natural-treatments-for-anxiety","tag-panic-attack-treatment","tag-panic-disorder","tag-remedies-for-anxiety","tag-school","tag-school-of-law","tag-social-anxiety-disorder","tag-stress-anxiety","tag-symptoms-of-a-panic-attack","tag-treatment-for-anxiety-disorder","tag-treatments-for-anxiety","tag-university-of-missouri","tag-veterans-clinic"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69720"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69720\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
