Here are several links about PTSD diagnosis and treatments, from Wired magazine:

There are other links about it as well (scroll to the bottom of one of the articles). That last link is about using Ecstacy to treat PTSD. Nothing about anti-cancer drugs yet, though.
I'm always amazed at the science in your books. I usually start off thinking that it's so far out there, and then come across articles like these that have reality quickly catching up to the story. In fact, here's one more link, this one about an EMP Cannon.

I'm going to start worrying about biosynthes and prochines now.
