PTSD is a lousy problem to have, but it is also a lousy problem to live with someone who has it. It affects all of those who love and care about you. It can leave them feeling helpless and confused, as if they no longer recognize the person that they love. PTSD can take you out of the game, keeping you from really being there for the people in your life. PTSD greatly impacts relationships, as those who suffer from it may feel disconnected from their loved ones, isolate themselves, and have problems with increased irritability or anger. There is an increased risk for spouses or partners and children to experience issues such as depression and anxiety as well. Family stress can lead to emotional and behavioral problems with children and also problems in school performance. There are treatment options that are available for you and your family. The most important thing for you to do for yourself and your family is to get help!
