This video outlines some of the causes, signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD, when gone untreated, can lead to such extremes as suicide.
Reality: hundreds of soldiers are suffering PTSD when returning from their tours. many hide their horrors, but thousands suffer greatly from it. while most get help when returning from war, thousands still are not being helped with it.!!!

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder tactics include knowing what people, situations or stresses will result in the breaking of situational continuity resulting in the manifestation of violence and loss of peace. If an activity does not contribute in some constructive way to long term goals than take ownership of that and manage it appropriately.
Design an outlet or way of escape into your daily activities and when necessary withdraw. The ability to do this allows us to maintain the sense of control and of being the master of ones environment. Trauma results when circumstances beyond our control conspire against us. Finding oneself in a position that triggers our survival senses can result in extremely dangerous and violent situations.
treatment pharmacothearpy not necessarily approved but in the literature about the medical treatment of PTSD
Recovering from PTSD can be very difficult. In this clip paul touches on a few techniques he has found useful when coaching iraq war and other veterans. By being present, and reminding one’s self that now is the only truth, one can help turn the tide of negative reflection/projection toward purpose and empowerment.
