PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the pain and anguish that just keeps on giving, especially to war veterans. Since the Iraq war started four years ago, the Defense Manpower Data Center has recorded 107 suicides among troops in combat situations. This number does not include all of the veterans who have returned home.
Nightmares, flashbacks, shakes, tremors, cold sweats, nervousness, depression, panic and anxiety attacks, rage outbursts, divorce are just a few of the symptoms of PTSD.
Veteran's groups and families say that there is not enough help being given by the Veteran's Affairs Department and the Pentagon.
PTSD knows no boundaries! Bush soldiers to helicopter crewmen to sailors in the Tongkin Gulf, Persian Gulf to the base camp workers.....
If you think you are suffering from PTSD and you are a war veteran or war era veteran, Give me a call. It is good to depend on each other in war and peace.
