PTSD around the Web

Once someone told me she didn't understand why Iraq/Afghanistan veterans were having so many more problems than the WWII Greatest Generation Veterans. I said veterans of past wars had problems too, they just didn't have an acronym for it. And it's become more socially acceptable to talk about. PTSD has been around so long, there's a Greek play about it: To heal combat trauma, the military looks back 2,500 years

An interesting profile of a veteran who now works as an advocate for returning soldiers: Once branded a coward, he fights for PTSD victims. I loved this quote from the article:


"Those of us who have come home and have survived this war ... we have an obligation to help those who come home and struggle. We must help them, because if we don't ... not only are we breaking a sacred promise we've made to them, we're also dishonoring the memory of those who have not come home,"
