Using p-silocybin mushrooms would only induce the psychotic experience so the psychologist could witness the minds reaction to the shock/trauma and help them to decide what form of therapy and drugs to apply. The best cure is preventive medicine never send human beings to be in a situation where they lose their souls and then bring them back into society where they can act out there perceptions of reality. I doubt our government will really help these poor souls . To me trauma is incurable . Nuke our enemies and we wont have to be broken for the rest of our lives.

Things are a little better now then it was in Vietnam. They have counselors over in Iraq watching for things like that. They have hospitals for soldiers in Iraq that are exhibiting stress. Usually counseling and a couple days rest and many of them are ok to go back to work. Others are shipped back to the states and depending on if they really are willing to fight for help are not they will be able to get in to see counselors and get meds. PTSD is like any other disorder you have to take responsibility for your own mental health. You get out what you put in. Yes you can set and do nothing and the army won't do anything either but if you want help bad enough you will get it. They also have meds that help in some cases.and if you are unable to work they (eventually) will help you financially.

They don't use mushrooms, for two simple reasons. First, hallucinogens can't be controlled in terms of the "trip" they send someone on. Imagine a soldier with PTSD having a bad mushroom trip. Yikes.
Second, it's just about impossible to control the amount of psilocybin in any particular mushrom. Imagine your doctor giving you a random dose of medicine.
What doctors are doing for PTSD is intensive therapy, and (surprisingly) getting a soldier back into his or her unit right away.

If you had ever served in the military under combat situations you would not be asking this question

They just deny it's happening and send you to the VA.
