Soldier Who Died by Suicide in Las Vegas Spoke of Pain, Trauma After Afghanistan

Soldier Who Died by Suicide in Las Vegas Spoke of Pain, Trauma After Afghanistan On New Year's Day, a highly decorated Special Forces soldier, Matthew Livelsberger, tragically died by suicide in a Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas. Livelsberger, 37, confided in a former girlfriend, Alicia Arritt, a former Army nurse, about the significant pain and exhaustion he experienced—key symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) stemming from his military service. A Distinguished Military Career Livelsberger was a five-time recipient of the Bronze Star, including one awarded for valor under fire. His exemplary military record included numerous deployments and a recently born child. However, the mental and physical toll of his service weighed heavily on him, as he struggled with the psychological effects of combat, including the loss of fellow soldiers and the actions he had to take during his deployments. Seeking Help Despite his accolades, Livelsberger sought treatment for depression from the Army, revealing his vulnerability. He had a close relationship with Arritt, who witnessed firsthand the toll that TBI can take on veterans. They met in 2018 through a dating app while both were in Colorado Springs, where Arritt had treated many soldiers with severe combat injuries. “I saw a lot of bad injuries, but the personality changes can happen later,” Arritt reflected on the challenges veterans face. Through their relationship, Livelsberger expressed his struggles, sharing texts about his experiences in Afghanistan, including the toll of multiple concussions. He described his life as a "personal hell," revealing the emotional burden he carried. The Last Messages Before his death, Livelsberger reached out to Arritt after years of limited contact, sending upbeat messages and videos of himself with the Cybertruck. However, Arritt sensed deeper symbolism in his actions, suggesting that the explosion was not impulsive but rather a thoughtful expression of his internal struggles. “He wasn’t impulsive,” Arritt stated. “I don’t see him doing this impulsively, so my suspicion would be that he was probably thinking it out.” Stigma and Mental Health Arritt noted that Livelsberger exhibited signs of TBI as early as 2018, including withdrawal and depression. Despite her encouragement to seek help, he feared that doing so could jeopardize his military career due to the stigma surrounding mental health in the Special Forces community. “There was a lot of stigma in his unit… mental health is seen as weakness,” she explained. Official Response The Pentagon has since turned over Livelsberger's medical records to local law enforcement and emphasized the importance of mental health care for service members. Sabrina Singh, deputy press secretary at the Pentagon, urged troops facing challenges to seek support through available military resources. “If you need help, if you feel that you need to seek any type of mental health treatment, or just to talk to someone — to seek the services that are available, either on base or off,” Singh said. Conclusion Matthew Livelsberger’s tragic death highlights the ongoing challenges faced by veterans, particularly concerning mental health and the stigma surrounding it. His story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and the need for continued support for those who have served in combat. Read the full article

Concussion: Brain Wounding Typically Not Treated

Every person with a Concussion has a right to be told that a safe and effective treatment exist to help heal the brain wound. Hoping a Concussion Protocol will somehow allow a brain wound to heal borders on medical negligence. Concussion Protocols worldwide have a built-in bias toward an outmoded approach to brain wounds/TBI/PTSD/Concussion/BLAST. None of the protocols mention Oxygen treatment to repair the underlying brain wound/trauma caused by the concussion. They offer "resting" advice to parents of children with concussions, who often have debilitating symptoms. Concussions are a brain wound, a form of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) A concussion is a wound/physical tauma to the soft tissue we call the brain. A concussion begins a negative “concussion cascade” that can lead to serious and sometimes fatal consequences. This brain wounding is accompanied by symptoms of confusion or disorientation, sometimes loss of consciousness, and memory loss. It is often described as having your "bell rung." While it is true that these symptoms will diminish over time in many cases, there can be long-term physiological and other consequences when you do not treat the brain wound. What is this Concussion Cascade, and why haven’t I been told about it? It has been very difficult to “see” the wound/damage to the brain on routine X-rays, including CT scans and MRIs. Medicine diagnoses concussions by identifying the symptoms. You are assumed to be “better” when those symptoms go away. Doctors typically say that 80-90% of concussions heal on their own. What about the 20% whose symptoms remain? The Concussion Cascade can include these findings: - Inflammation - Reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery to brain cells - Reduced nutrients and enzymes necessary for wound healing/repair - Physical damage to brain matter at the microscopic level and not seen on X-rays, CT scans or MRIs - Oxygen starvation/hypoxia - Cell inactivation and death - Buildup of waste in the brain that can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in some cases And don't be shocked to learn that the same people that tell you everything will be fine in time, they are quick to warn about a second concussion. But if everthing is okay if you follow the Concussion Protocol, why worry about a second or a third? Well, maybe because there is residual damage from the brain wound that never healed. Concussions are typically a mild form of traumatic brain injury (mTBI). To understand concussions in the context of all brain wounds, it is instructive to look at just a few of the brain wounds we deal with every day. None are to be taken lightly, yet most are never treated properly: as a brain wound, not as a mental health problem that will somehow magically heal via "the tincture of time." Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head, a penetrating head injury, or a blast injury.  Major Symptoms of TBI can vary greatly in severity and may include: Physical Symptoms: Headache  Nausea and vomiting  Dizziness or loss of balance  Fatigue or drowsiness  Sensitivity to light and sound  Blurred vision  Changes in speech  Weakness, numbness, or tingling in extremities  Seizures  Cognitive Symptoms: Confusion  Difficulty thinking clearly  Memory problems  Difficulty concentrating  Slowed thinking or processing information  Problems with judgment  Behavioral or Mood Symptoms: Irritability  Agitation  Anxiety  Depression  Aggression  Changes in personality  Severity of TBI: Mild TBI (concussion):May involve a brief period of unconsciousness or disorientation.  Medicine says that symptoms typically resolve within a few weeks, but they do little to adequately treat and heal the brain wound Moderate TBI: Loss of consciousness for an extended period. Possible confusion and disorientation for hours or days.  May experience more severe cognitive and physical symptoms. Severe TBI: Extended period of unconsciousness or coma.  Significant neurological damage.  May result in long-term disabilities.  BLAST damage. Blast injuries occur when explosions create high-pressure waves that can damage sensitive organs like the ears and brain. A blast injury is caused by the intense energy released in an explosion and can lead to a wide range of injuries, depending on the type of blast. 1. Primary Blast Injury This type of injury results from the direct effects of the blast wave on the body. It primarily affects air-filled organs, such as the lungs, ears, and gastrointestinal tract. - Concussion or brain injury: Loss of consciousness Headache Dizziness Cognitive difficulties (memory loss, confusion) - Ear damage: Tympanic membrane (eardrum) rupture Hearing loss or decreased hearing Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) Ear pain or pressure Balance issues or vertigo - Pulmonary (lung) injuries: Pulmonary contusion (bruising of lung tissue) Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) Hemothorax (blood in the chest cavity) Respiratory distress or failure Hypoxia (low oxygen levels) Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - Gastrointestinal injuries: Bowel perforation or rupture Abdominal pain or distension Nausea and vomiting Gastrointestinal bleeding General Symptoms of Blast Injury - Shock (hypovolemic or neurogenic shock) - Pain (due to tissue damage, fractures, or burns) - Confusion or altered mental status (due to brain injury or shock) - Loss of consciousness (can be temporary or prolonged) - Respiratory distress (due to lung damage or blocked airways) - Bleeding or bruising (due to internal injuries or shrapnel wounds) - Fatigue and weakness (due to trauma or blood loss) Long-Term Effects - Cognitive or psychological issues (such as memory problems, mood disorders) - Chronic hearing loss or tinnitus - Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - Chronic pain and disability due to fractures or soft tissue damage - Pulmonary problems or chronic lung disease (if lung injury was significant) Polytrauma and Operator Syndrome are more complex and additive injuries suffered along with brain wounding. What is true for mTBI/Concussion is also true for these conditions. Short of death, these are the worst war and accidents can serve up. Proper diagnosis and proper treatment are mandatory to restore near-normal function. And that includes treating and healing brain wounds. You do not have to sit idly by hoping a Concussion will heal on its own when you follow the Concussion Protocol. NOTE: Ask yourself where in the NFL Concussion Protocol, or ANY protocol in high school or college or the NHL or FIFA or your local hospital, any attention is paid to treating and healing the brain wound. Here's a taste: The NFL Concussion Protocol is a multi-step process designed to evaluate and manage players suspected of having a concussion. Here's a simplified summary:  1. On-Field Evaluation: - Spotting the injury: If a player displays concerning symptoms (e.g., dizziness, confusion, loss of balance) on the field, medical personnel are immediately alerted.  - Sideline assessment: A brief initial evaluation is conducted on the sideline to assess for any "no-go" symptoms (e.g., loss of consciousness, seizures, severe motor weakness).  2. Locker Room Evaluation: - More thorough examination: If concerns remain, the player undergoes a more comprehensive evaluation in the locker room. This includes neurological tests, cognitive assessments, and balance tests.  3. Independent Neurological Consultant (INC) Evaluation: - Independent assessment: An independent neurologist examines the player to provide an unbiased evaluation.  4. Return-to-Play Protocol: - Gradual progression: Players must pass through a series of steps before returning to play, including: Rest: Initial rest and symptom monitoring. Light aerobic exercise: Gradually increasing physical activity.  Non-contact drills: Introducing non-contact football activities.  Contact practice: Gradual reintroduction to contact drills. Full practice participation: Returning to full practice with the team. 5. Ongoing Monitoring: - Continued observation: Players are closely monitored for any recurring symptoms throughout the return-to-play process.  Key Points: - Player safety is paramount: The protocol emphasizes the importance of player safety and aims to prevent premature return to play.  - Independent evaluation: The involvement of an independent neurologist ensures unbiased assessment.  - Gradual progression: The step-wise approach allows for a safe and gradual return to play.  - Ongoing monitoring: Continuous monitoring helps identify any potential complications. Note: not a word about brain inflammation, reduced oxygen, healing the brain wound. The NFL spends more time healing ACLs, hamstrings, and broken bones than it does on brain wounds. Yet more former players succumb to suicide or CTE than to orthopedic injuries. Of course, those players are off the NFL's books by that time. Heal Brains. Stop Suicides. Restore Lives.

How does one cope with stress normally? How does one not want to hurt themselves to deal with the stress???

So many damn emotions are coasting through me and I just want them to stop. I want to be normal without stress pain or worry. I want to just handle stress and pain like a boss and not be so damn emotional.

But when you’re born an empath like me, that’s not the case. You can never be normal and the emotions you feel aren’t just yours but everyone else’s too.

Some days are easier than others and other days I simply just do enough to get through the day.

Am I okay? Yes.

Do I feel strong? No. But I think over time I will. Getting out of a rough place last year changed me and for the better. I’m on the path to healing. And I’m becoming happier and stronger in the process.

Honestly I think it’ll get easier with time, well I sure hope so.

Don’t know if any of this made sense or not but thanks for listening

Kentucky Funding HBOT Treatments for TBI/PTSD

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Kentucky Veterans, provides Oxygen Therapy for TBI and PTSD Veterans in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statue (KRS) 217.930-942 PRESS RELEASE December 2024 Arlington VA Thanks to the efforts of Eric Koleda and Eunice Ray, the widow of Marine Col. Ronald Ray, the Kentucky legislature has appropriated $1.5 Million to treat Kentucky Veterans suffering from TBI/PTSD. All of the treatment would be at no cost to veterans who qualify thanks to the approved state money. News and video of the accomplishment can be found here. Kentucky joins nine other states which have legislated the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to treat and help heal brain wounds. Collectively, the ten states with legislation have appropriated over $32 Million to do the job that should be the responsibility of the Veterans Administration. Five other states are preparing similar legislation. HBOT has been proven safe and effective for use with over 14 indications approved by the FDA. Brain wounding underlies TBI and most PTSD symptoms. HBOT works to heal the brain wound through a series of complex chemical, biologic, and physical actions. HBOT fights inflammation, restores wounded tissue, and magnifies healing through growth of new blood vessels, neurons, stem cells, and provides oxygen for thousands of brain and bodily functions. Dozens of peer-reviewed scientific studies attest to the healing powers of HBOT in TBI/PTSD/Burn Pits/Concussion/BLAST injuries. "For the veterans, they do 40 treatments for an hour," said Dr. Jack Arnold, who practices at the Clark Regional Medical Center in Winchester.... All the excess oxygen creates increased profusion to brain cells, helping the neurocognitive function and basically that higher level neurological communication, so to speak."  HBOT therapy is now available to Kentucky veterans at hospitals in Louisville, Winchester and even in southern Indiana. The really good news for Veterans is that HBOT is proven to virtually eliminate suicidal ideation. Suicides among service members continue to climb. The latest data show over 17 per day in the U.S., now totaling over 151,000 since 9/11. Despite resistance from the VA and DoD, the TreatNOW Coalition, HBOT4KYVETS, and over 150 private HBOT clinics have successfully treated over 31,000 patients, among them over 12,000 Veterans. As Congressman Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) recently put it to CBS NEWS, ” I believe it is medical malpractice not to offer this to our Veterans.” Complete information about the program and applications is available at https://hbot4kyvets.com/ Heal Brains.

Acute External Ventricular Drain Market to Reach $6.1 Billion by 2033, Growing at 5.0% CAGR

Acute External Ventricular Drain Market : Acute external ventricular drains (EVDs) are critical medical devices used in the management of patients with acute neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and hydrocephalus. These devices are used to remove cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain's ventricles to relieve pressure caused by excess fluid buildup. EVDs are essential for preventing brain damage by reducing intracranial pressure (ICP), thereby improving patient outcomes. The demand for acute EVDs has grown as neurological disorders become more prevalent, and advancements in medical technology continue to improve their functionality and ease of use.

To Request Sample Report : https://www.globalinsightservices.com/request-sample/?id=GIS32146 &utm_source=SnehaPatil&utm_medium=Article

The acute EVD market is seeing rapid advancements in both design and application. Innovations in materials and technology have led to the development of more accurate, reliable, and patient-friendly drainage systems. Modern EVDs are now equipped with features like pressure sensors, which allow healthcare professionals to continuously monitor intracranial pressure, and antimicrobial coatings, which reduce the risk of infection—a significant concern in critical care settings. These enhancements are contributing to the growing adoption of acute external ventricular drains in hospitals and clinics worldwide, improving the safety and effectiveness of treatments for patients with life-threatening brain conditions.

As the prevalence of neurological conditions continues to rise globally, the acute external ventricular drain market is expected to expand further. This growth is fueled by increased awareness, better diagnosis, and technological improvements that facilitate earlier and more accurate interventions. Additionally, the increasing focus on patient outcomes and the drive for minimally invasive treatment options is boosting the use of EVDs in intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency care settings. With ongoing research and innovations, the acute EVD market is poised to continue advancing, offering life-saving benefits for patients with critical neurological conditions.
