Outline of Final Research Achievements

We conducted research to find factors predicting recovery from traumatic stress. Several factors were suggested as potential predicting factors at the individual level. We also published several articles on the startle reflex, the Fukushima Nuclear Accident, and the comorbid depressive symptoms related to this research area. In addition, we focused on the nightmare symptoms and provided review articles and psychoeducational materials about how to change the nightmares.
