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 Documentary on Female Iraq Veterans
Hi! I'm based in the UK but perhaps some people here can still help?

I am making a 30 minute documentary as part of my Masters degree.
Briefly, the programme will look at the effect that serving in war zones has on female soldiers and effect that PTSD has on their lives as they try and return to a "normal" environment.

If there are any veterans who can help me (especially women) in my initial research, I would like to hear from anyone that suffers from post-war PTSD.

Please respond here or send me a private message?

Many thanks for your time.

Josie

Hi Josie,

I (being male) suffer post war PTSD. My wife (kerrie-ann) has also been overseas on operations, though not a war zone as such, but gee did she struggle with it... and I honestly believe she has a few symptoms of PTSD, just not the full bundle to make it PTSD.

If I can help, just ask, and also kerrie-ann will read this and may be able to help a little also.

I know there are other male veterans here, not so sure about female... as most of the females here with PTSD are from other factors, not military related.
