Anyone can develop it after a terrifying experience, from a car accident or hurricane to rape or child abuse.PTSD is not just limited to Vets a small child or any an animal can suffer,Ask your self have they been through a traumatic event??? They need help. To get through this.Some never do recover. Thanks,Michelle

Yes, indeed. PTSD affects large segments of society. We've always been told "It's all in your head," and "Suck it up!" when what we really need is treatment and coping strategies. Now that we've figured out how to identify the physical evidence of PTSD, let's hope the stigma will be removed, and treatments become more readily available.
