Can Wrongfully Convicted Man Get past His PTSD?

December 06, 2017

Last season, we met Clarence who spent several years in jail for a crime he did not commit. Following his exoneration, he developed PTSD and we sent him to see PTSD specialist Dr. Eugene Lipov.

 

Dr. Lipov pioneered a groundbreaking treatment for PTSD which involves a simple epidermal injection to the neck. He is often able to stop the symptoms of PTSD with one shot and he says the brain is rebooted to a pre-trauma state. Dr. Lipov treats both Clarence and wife Molly, who says she is experiencing secondary PTSD.

He spent 7 years in prison for crimes that he didn't commit. It was DNA evidence that finally freed Clarence Elkins.

The trauma of that time behind bars left Elkins with a lifetime of repercussions and PTSD.

 

Eleven years after his release, Elkins has tried a fairly unknown treatment to deal with that post traumatic stress, and is hoping that one injection to block certain nerves can give him his life back.

 

FOX 8 went with him and his wife to Chicago, and documented the moments that he received the treatment.
