PTSD

We hear more and more about Post-Tramatic Stress Disorder today, but what exactly is it?

It is defined as an anxiety disorder which can develop after an exposer to a terrifying ordeal. During this event, grave physical harm occured or was threatened. One has a valid belief they will die!
Military combat, personal assaults such as rape or robbery, car or plane crashes, natural disasters such as Katrina or the San Francisco earthquake, or human-caused diasters like 911 fuel this ailment.

Someone suffering from PSTD may develop nightmares, sleep problems and/or feeling emotionally detached or numb.

I found a new website which chronicles a soldier from Iraq and his struggle with PSTD:FIGHT-PTSD.ORG Check it out.

Peace.
