PTSD stands for psychological traumatic stress disorder.This common disorder is known to be common in post war veterans because of all the horrible war experiences those individuals have to live through. Just as the article mentioned Caleb was a survivor of the Afganistán and Iraq war. PTSD can in a sense even be contagious. It can go from one family member to another after the survivor returns. There is a study that claims 45% of post war veterans kids have displayed significant signs of PTSD—even if they themselves have not gone. A lot of times the loved ones of people who have PTSD are overlooked. Studies have shown from the children and the wife, like Brannan for example, suffer from PTSD and are often neglected in getting the support and love they need. If there is more support for the families of the survivors, then the spread of the stress disorder will for certain lessen.
