Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD)

Michael is a 39 year old man who was in the marine corps for almost twenty years. He got sent home because of a terrible accident on the battle field. He and his squad were going to retrieve intel about the enemy building ideas that could be devastating. When him and his squad were on their way going to retrieve it, they ran across a mine field. His whole squad gone but him but he was severely injured as one of his squad members blew up in his face. He was rescued and sent home. After some time being at home he was able to walk and do stuff on his own, but a couple of weeks later he started having flashbacks to were his friends got blow up and flashbacks of what happened on the battle field. He thought they weren't going to hurt but later on they did. He started reenacting the flashbacks so it made hime feel like he was there fighting again. He was uncontrollable. He would also get bad dreams once in a while and wake up crying seeing his friends and family die. Psychotherapy is what Michael does to help reduces PTSD because he and others has noticed it is hurting him.

Dopamine speed up from Music

Music can effect dopamine. Dopamine is a hormone that makes us wanna do things like eat and move. Without it we would die. Shamarkes music, i didn't really feel anything, I didn't like it. Megan's made me feel happy and like i just wanna just drive in the middle of nowhere n cruise... Tara May's made me wanna listen to the same song over and over again. Chase's music made me happy and calm, not really jumpy when i heard his music. Hiedi's music made wanna rock and roll all day while listening to that kind if music. My music made me feel calm and happy. Dopamine effects anything you do. It makes you wanna do things. It keeps you from dieing.

My Opinion

My opinion is that we should let the population of the cougars grow then start hunting them again when they get their population back up. Even though the Cougars were almost extinct, we should start hunting them again when their population grow.
