Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Of those who have been in combat, most of them if not all.
The term "combat stress reaction" is often used as a euphemism for shell shock, referring to the psychological impact of combat on soldiers.
Emergency personnel and those directly involved in the traumatic event (and their families). Natural disasters account for about a 5%, while there is a 50% rate among rape and Holocaust survivors.
About 1 in 8 returning soldiers have PTSD, but far fewer seek help. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5334479/

It is estimated that around 10-20% of World War I veterans experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime. However, it's worth noting that PTSD was not officially recognized as a diagnosis until much later, so the prevalence could be higher.
Because without counseling, the person affected could develop depression and confusion could lead them to make bad decisions concerning their life.
Getting letters and care packages from home can have an important positive effect for soldiers abroad. Studies performed by 'The Journal of Traumatic Stress' have discovered that soldiers in positive relationships that receive letters do not suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder as badly as soldiers who are in poor relationships and ones who don't receive anything.
If you are in a violent relationship, your children are being affected even if they are not being directly abused. Witnessing violence directed at one of their parents is a traumatic event in the life of a child, and the consequences of it could follow them for a lifetime. As teenagers and adults, they could suffer depression, post traumatic stress disorder and a host of other complications. You owe it to yourself and them to get out now.
