Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Need Info - Bosnian Refugees?
For some reason I have been given an assignment from God--my Bosnian friends who came in the package of a family: a mother and her three children, ages 32, 27, and 18 years. They have been here for six years and the children seem to have adjusted well. But their mother, my good friend, has not adjusted much at all. Last summer I was gifted with a visit to their home in down town Sarajevo. People and buildings have not recovered. I have some idea of what they went through for four years; but I just saw the residuals of the genocide, I didn't experience it.
My questions are many, but I'll start with: is there a book or info specifically addressing the issues and recovery of Bosnian refugees? My friend is highly educated and skilled, and I would love to find help for her. She is seeing a doctor, but I don't think ptsd is this doctor"s area of expertise. thanks for any info. Lynda
