My Opinion

Honestly, this is how I view Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is highly important that you give the proper attention ad care to the disorder. I feel as if soldiers come back with at least some kind of trauma, and mental scarring. You can not believe them when they say they do not need help if you notice the symptoms i posted the other day. It is a matter of caring and showing that person you are willing to do anything for the benefit of their health. Being a friend is more than just hanging out with them. It is looking out for them and if you are family you are a friend. Help them if you notice anything unusual. This is a very serious disorder that must be treated.

“I simply can’t…

“I simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death… I think… peace and tranquility will return again.”

Anne Frank

This is a positive way to view it. I enjoy her point of view on life. Anne Frank had horrible living conditions and somehow she can say something so positive. It’s truly inspirational.

In some cases the stress can lead to suicide for the victim of PTSD. Do not let this happen, be a friend and help

Mental Factors To Take Into Consideration

I know it is easy to get mad at the person for what they experience, such as exploding out of anger, flashbacks, the want of isolation, and so on, but you need to remember the thing s that they see are mind scarring and stick with them for the remainder of their life until therapy or some kind of mental healing is done.

“The harder the…

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” – Thomas Paine

While it may seem impossible to make it through PTSD, you need to realize when you work as hard as you can to beat it, the success of overcoming it is much more appealing than being beaten by it.
