I Have Ptsd

I don't have PTSD but I have a son who does . He is a Navy veteran who has been serving since 1999. He started having problems after he got back from Afghanistan . He has trouble sleeping , anxiety and panic attacks , mood swings , depression and has had thoughts of suicide . I moved closer to him , so I can help his wife . He has been to the VA and they have him on several medications . I am writing this to raise awareness that there are many who suffere from this . Not everyone with PTSD gets this aflixation from being in a combat area . Women and children are susceptible because of the abuse they encounter by either spouses , boyfriends and for children from parents or family members . For those who read my story and believe in prayer , I'm asking you to pray from my son and for all who suffer from PTSD . Thank you

Oh and on a side note : I'm being respectful in writing this and ALL negative or demeaning comments WILL BE DELETED .

@Nomar67 My man? I will gladly pray for your son, his wife, even, and the future generations ahead of him, just the same as you are for me, also. You are much better than my old man, I can promise that. Just the same as I will promise mine after me that when they do join the military, especially with their martial arts and all their other skills they'll have to be of benefits to them for it, they will be better than me, and also much better than my old man, and it will continue to be that way if they continue the tradition with theirs after them. Anyways, thank you for serving, and tell your son I thank him also for serving also.
