Symptoms of PTSD
A soldier goes to war with aspirations of serving his country. Sadly, more than we realize they come home and turn to drugs, alcohol abuse, and even suicide to cope with the memories. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a real combat injury and it has the potential to tear lives apart.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an American Psychological Association (APA) recognized condition resulting from exposure to an extreme traumatic stressor.
