An article in Newsweek about head injuries servicemen and women are facing when they return from Afghanistan and Iraq and the struggles doctors are having to treat their physical and psychological symptoms quotes Barry Willer, UB professor of psychiatry and rehabilitation medicine, and an expert on concussions.
