Meditation helps vets with post-traumatic stress disorder
By CARLA K. JOHNSON
Meditation worked as well as traditional therapy for military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder in a small experiment sponsored by the Department of Defense.

Meditation could be a better choice for some, the researchers said.
