PTSD and you!

When learning about PTSD and its affect on our soldier it opened up my eyes to what other side effects war has on peoples lives. We see the war as something horrific for our soldiers and we think that it's amazing when someone makes it back from places like Iraq. But when you look at it the war doesn't stop for soldiers coming back.. It's a battle on and off the field some would say. PTSD has showed people the side affects of war and ultimately if you do even come back from the war, your fight with your mental state is your next mission. Not only is PTSD a problem for soldiers but a problem for the people around them. They put them and the people around them in danger as we've seen from the documentaries that were shown in class. The scariest part of looking at PTSD is the worry of one recovering from something so severe. Ultimately the fear of death that was put into the eyes our soldiers will ultimately cause problems for society. Bring the rise of drinking problems and drug problems that will put people in danger.

Ultimately the war doesn't only commence bloodshed but it affects the brain of those that were involved in war and have survived. Making it impossible for people to rub away the stain that war brings into their lives
