PTSD

 I would like to talk a little about PTSD also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD can come from sever trauma or a life-threatening event. Whenever you hear PTSD most people think of our soldiers serving overseas. War brings many traumatic and life-threatening events that can cause a person to have PTSD which is the case with many soldiers returning home. People who have PTSD will feel very stressed and on edge. They might have nightmares about the events that they faced while on duty. Sometimes certain noises will make them jump. These are all symptoms of PTSD. Many deal with PTSD on their own but there are many who need help dealing with it. Sometimes the symptoms do start until the person has been back for a while. Below are some videos to better help explain PTSD.
