Abstract
A method and system for monitoring therapeutic interventions for treating a patient with PTSD comprises using a scanner to obtain pre-treatment neural spectroscopic data of at least one neuromarker chemical in the brain of the patient before treatment, treating the patient with at least one treatment protocol, after treatment, obtaining post-treatment neural spectroscopic data of the at least one neuromarker chemical in the brain of the patient, and comparing the results of the pre-treatment and post-treatment data to enable a determination of the effectiveness of the treatment.
