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.

There are two men that my husband works with that are in the reserves that have been diagnosed with PTSD. One of them had to stop working all together. My father was in the army in Vietnam, and he has PTSD. So, there are three that I know for sure and have talked with. There are other friends that I have that have been in military combat that I suspect, but do not know for certain. It breaks my heart how the US sends our men and women into combat, but when they come back home gives them little help to cope with what they have been through.

Not sure if you mean currently serving or veterans. Veterans included, there's my grandfather, my uncle, my brother. My brother served up until his death last April and he had full blown PTSD while working. If you count friends and acquaintances there are several more, some veterans, some currently serving. Though most have been discharged due to the PTSD. All together I'd say I know close to 20.
