I TOO noticed that the brain can be traumatized("TRAUMA AND RECOVERY--The aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror"< Judith Herman,M.D.") which is a very good book on trauma and recovery from it.Soldiers with symptoms of PTSD have much of the same symptoms as women clobbered by domestic violence.--It's the same "changes to the nervous system by trauma."--This book claims you can get better--but many survivors still have brain damage, and have to take medicine.

(what the heck is SAMI? OR SAME? Is it a health food supplement? Got any evidence it works? I always want evidence that a medicine from ANY SOURCE can prove thru science,that it works.--Doctors would know.)
