Do you need care?

Today, there are effective treatments for deployment- or combat-related stress and adjustment problems. How do you know if you need care?  Are you bothered by an event in the past in which you thought you could be killed or seriously injured? Are you having ongoing problems with any of the following:

  • Reoccurring memories or thoughts of the event
  • Difficulty sleeping or nightmares
  • Poor concentration or memory
  • Depression, anxiety or irritability
  • Avoiding thinking about the event or avoiding activities, places, or people that remind you of it
  • Being more easily startled or feel like always on alert
  • Difficulty maintaining close relationships
  • Self destructive behavior, such as drinking too much
  • Emotionally numb

If so, you may be showing signs of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
