VIRGINIA BEACH -- Veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury may soon have relief from their symptoms.

Dr. Paul Harch, a leader in hyperbaric medicine, claims hyperbaric oxygen therapy may permanently curtail TBI and PTSD symptoms.

James Ciconne was an E4 in the Army and was diagnosed with PTSD after spending a year in Iraq. He committed suicide a year ago.

"He did say to me, 'Mom, I've done terrible things. I've done terrible things,' and you can see the pain in his face," Tanya Ciconne said.

His father, Bill Ciconne, remembers the last three texts he got from his son. "I love you, thank you for raising me, and goodbye," he texted.

Bill Ciconne supports Dr. Harch's research.
