Thank you, Chair.
This is a fascinating presentation from both of you.
Dr. Germain, first of all, could I get one of those kits? I say that because, although it's obviously designed for extreme stress situations, it seems to me it may well have application quite generally in the population.
A newspaper article a couple of days ago reported on sleep as a therapy for depression and I was absolutely astounded at the findings. I studied psychology in my early days, and did a lot of work in the 1990s with people with post-traumatic stress disorder, and with those who had a lot of depression, etc., resulting from sexual abuse. The rate of recovery from depression being reported is astonishing; the best discovery since Prozac, I think the article said. I don't know if it was about your work or not. It's better than Prozac. How come it has taken so long to find this out?
Are there any lessons to be learned for the military in terms of how you operate? Maybe you don't need to get people up at 4 a.m. to run three miles unless it happens to be a war zone and you have to do it because it's part of the defence. Are there lessons to be learned as to how you treat soldiers in general as well as how you treat them after the fact?
