Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
I never thought my friends and classmates would end up fighting in wars around the world.If they come back they're never the same.
And being on the other side of the spectrum I feel helpless.All i can do is listen if they're willing to talk about it.
I cant even imagine what the kids live through, being second hand victims to serious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Moral Injury.
The mind is a very powerful and delicate instrument.
"If you don't intervene with the emotional aftermath of the war up-front and early, it can slide down a precipitous path to hell."
