Sept. 11 Left 70,000 With Stress Disorder

New Data Show Thousands Developed PTSD After Attacks, As Many As 12,600 Have Asthma

(AP)  New data from a public health registry that tracks the health effects of 9/11 suggest that as many as 70,000 people may have developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the terrorist attacks.

The estimate, released Wednesday by New York City's Department of Health, is based on an analysis of the health of 71,437 people who enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Registry. They agreed to be tracked for up to 20 years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and the study was based on answers they volunteered about their health two and three years after the attack.

Of the estimated 400,000 people believed to have been heavily exposed to pollution from the disaster, data suggests that 35,000 to 70,000 people developed PTSD and 3,800 to 12,600 may have developed asthma, city health officials said.

They include rescue and recovery workers, lower Manhattan residents, area workers, commuters and passers-by.

Overall, half of the respondents said they had been in the dust cloud from the collapsing towers; 70 percent witnessed a traumatic sight, such as a plane hitting the tower or falling bodies; and 13 percent sustained an injury that day.

"The consensus among physicians is that when it comes to physical health, the vast majority of people felt symptoms in the first year," said Lorna Thorpe, the deputy commissioner for epidemiology at the New York City Health Department. "A small proportion of people, however, developed symptoms years later. And in some cases, it's hard to tell whether they're World Trade Center-related or a result of allergies or existing conditions."

The post-traumatic stress disorder rate was highest among injured, low-income and Hispanic study volunteers. In general, minorities and low-income respondents experienced higher rates of mental and physical problems, as did women.

The study was conducted by the city health department and the federal Centers for Disease Control's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. It was released in the Journal of Urban Health.

The city offers free physical and mental health care to eligible people affected by the attacks.

HUSSEIN,,, THE RACIST BIGOT SEXIST PIG,,,

From Dreams of My Father:

''I ceased to advertise my mother''s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites .''

From Dreams of My Father :

''I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother''s race.''

From Dreams of My Father:

''There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.''

From Dreams of My Father:

''It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.''

From Dreams of My Father:

''I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn''t speak to my own. It was into my father''s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I''d packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.''

From Audacity of Hope:

''I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.''

Why dont you stop being such an idiot for once in your miserable life. You KNOW Bush planned to invade Iraq long before 9-11, and you KNOW the US have killed hundreds of thousands of innocents there. For once in your life BE HUMAN and acknowledge the shameful tragedy the US has unleashed there. The suffering of 9-11 pails into insignificance compared to the horrors in Iraq. Can you be a man and say what you really think, and not what you are told to think?

ummmmmm nancy,,, so did wet willy kkklowntoon,,, in 1998,,,

the suffering in iraq is solely because of FASCIST NAZI TERRORISLAM,,,

the Iraqi war is legal, demonic-rat hero oscar, emmy, nobel prize winning al bore says so,,,

it actually never ended since it only stopped by the signing of a ceasefire,,, just like the korean war,,,

the resumption of hostilities was only a matter of time since iraq broke the ceasefire agreement,,,

blame saddam for iraq,,, Even clintoon and the dems wanted the resumption of hostilities back in 1998,,,

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Moreover, no international law can prevent the United States from taking actions to protect its vital interests, when it is manifestly clear that there is a choice to be made between law and survival. I believe, however, that such a choice is not presented in the case of Iraq. Indeed, should we decide to proceed, that action can be justified within the framework of international law rather than outside it. In fact, though a new UN resolution may be helpful in building international consensus, the existing resolutions from 1991 are sufficient from a legal standpoint. - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

[credibility2]

I believe this number is even higher when you factor in the hundreds of thousands who were also affected by this horror. I was airborne when this occurred, traveling to a conference where I was to speak; I had just started a business. My contacts lost their businesses. I lost potential clients. The business failed and I still haven''t fully recovered. The experience left me shocked and frightened. I cry each anniversary knowing what I loss or could''ve lost. But, I especially weep for all the lost and injured people from this attack, including those who weren''t in the areas, but who were made part of this horror because it was viewable and made all the more real because of technology.

Sept. 11 Left 70,000 With Stress Disorder


Sadly, after 7 years of "terror threats" from Bush there are a lot more than the 70,000.
Anytime the Bush administration thought we were getting complacent--up came another threat--ole Bushie kept us on our toes with heightened alerts.

It isn''t because of Bush we haven''t been attacked--our boarders are no more secure than they were pre 911.
They have 800,000 names on the FBI terror watch list--sitting there--no "cells" as yet.
The eavesdropping on Americans calling overseas has provided nothing, on that topic--we''re all probably on some list---try calling your bank or internet provider without being connected to India speaking to someone with a heavy accent named Amy.

And Chertoff comes off yesterday claiming we could see another attack.

How about securing our boarders there buddy?

No Bush has brainwashed the "willing to be scared" into thinking he has done a great thing---Iraq sure is better off than pre 911.
Yep they sure are---the country is in a shambles, over 600,000 dead and over 2 million displaced and he believes they''re better off.
What an absolute idiot!

You have to be kidding me PTSD fro 70k. I can understand some of the 12k for asthma. I can also see some people saying they have it and not actually having it (socialized welfare brings out the best in us). Our society is full of whiners and complainers always wanting to blame others. If you were in the towers, I can see having PTSD. If you lost someone close to you in the event, I can see you being tragically affected. For those of us in society, you will think about it and contemplate it. BUT PTSD, that is so much bullcrap. Just another form of the p..sification of America.

Impeach W. let me guess you still believed we allowed the attack at Pearl Harbor and that it was not a string of tragic events from a complacent society. We can never be complacent with wolves at the doors.

I don''t find the remarks about PTSD being a put on in order to get $$$ from the government funny. PTSD is a very real, very debilitating disorder and ANYONE can get it when they witness a traumatic event. There is a study to see if using Inderal might lessen the likelihood of developing PTSD after a traumatic event, but the Inderal has to be given soon afterward. Let''s hope it is successful. Treating PTSD BEFORE it happens is the best way to deal with it. Once you have PTSD, and even those making fun don''t deserve to suffer from it, it is very hard to treat it successfully. I should know, I have had PTSD for over 20 years, after witnessing the near-murder of my mom. Go figure.

The acts of the Muslim extremists were shocking. We still don''t have the full truth or even all of the pictures! The US planned very carefully to enter WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. I pray this was not also by design.

The destruction of the foundation of our country%u2019s values core values by Bush and his friends and his policies Combined with so much secrecy, surveillance and unnecessary war was the Real Damage we incurred. Anyone who is not traumatized by this should be. Wake up Sheeple!

Bunch of please feel sorry for me by giving me a huge government check crybabies...

[kashmirbaby]

please don''t base your view of the US government, or your views on anything really, on whatreallyhappened.com or a geocities webpage. Pick up a book - and no, I don''t mean just our history books from school that have the potential for bias - I mean examine historical accounts from all sides and form your own opinions. Don''t let some website, the media, or someone else tell you how you should feel about dramatic world events or anything else for that matter.

I can certainly understand the stress but to poison their minds, liver and bodies with synthetic drugs that don''t work for profit is criminal.

[noloyalisti]

911 was a conspiracy by the US government to spread American empire to Muslim countries in the Middle East.

Simple as that.

As I heard David Lee Griffin say yesterday, most people have this almost psychotic Nationalistic Faith that stops them from accepting that our "elected" government official could be responsible for murder. But just look at the money and who made out on the attacks. And why would you not believe these people are evil after all the lying and murder they have done the last 8 years.
