Study Objective: Specific Biomarkers For PTSD

Study Seeks Biomarkers For Invisible War Scars by James Dao.  The New York Times.  February 6, 2013.

Aiming to elevate mental health to standard physical health, the research team is hoping to recruit 1,500 subjects.  The subjects will undergo a variety of tests for hormone levels, blood chemistry, genetic makeup, brain structure, and voice.  Some will receive an MRI while others will test a theory involving the thalamus.  The lead researcher wants to be able to test biologically for mental health phenomena.
