MILITARY TEEN SUICIDE Risk & Prevention

Linda Kreter presents Military Network Radio: You Don't Need to Live With It! Balance and dizziness issues lowers quality of life and can result from brain injury or vestibular (inner ear) dysfunction - and common in blast injuries and with aging. Too many service members and veterans "live with it" and aren't aware there is a tool to both diagnose -- and then treat the symptoms. Vision, feet/ankles/back, and vision all contribute to stable balance and falls are the greatest risk for all age groups. If you have these symptoms, ask your doctor if they have access to this tool (available at some VA's): www.BalanceBack.com. Co-host Pam Eggleston.
