Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an issue for many service members. It can be hard on the family too. PTSD may interfere with relationships and change family life, but with knowledge and appreciative, the partner of a service limb distress from PTSD can help him or her restore your health.
Knowing how PTSD affects people may help a partner in appreciative what a limb is going through.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can occur after one experiences a traumatic event. A traumatic event is a life-threatening occurrence such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incident, serious accident or violent personal assault.
For most people, PTSD starts within three months of the traumatic event. For others, signs don’t show up until years later. Acute PTSD lasts less than three months and chronic PTSD lasts more than three months. With delayed PTSD, symptoms first occur six or more months subsequent the trauma. Some people get surpass within six months, while others may have the illness for much longer.
Many people who go through a traumatic event don’t get PTSD and it isn’t clear why some people renovate PTSD and others don’t. How likely someone is to get PTSD depends on many things, such as the intensity of the trauma; if they lost a loved one or were injured; how close they were to the event; or how much they felt in control of events.
People who suffer from PTSD often have nightmares and flashbacks reliving the experience. Other symptoms include:
Feeling worried
Feeling a loss of control
Problem sleeping
Feeling detached or withdrawn
Substance abuse
Reminiscence problems
PTSD symptoms can be complicated and occur with related disorders such as depression.
The symptoms can become severe enough to significantly impair daily life. The person may lose the ability to function normally in society or family environments. But, there are many ways a partner can help a limb deal with PTSD.
Offer to go to doctor visits and volunteer to help keep track of medicine and therapy. Be there for support.
Encourage him or her to talk about the trauma and be appreciative if he or she doesn’t feel like talking.
Give them space, but tell him or her that help is there when they need it. This is also critical in maintaining one’s own psychological health.
Plot activities together: take a walk, go for a bike ride, or do some other physical activity together. Exercise is vital for health and helps clear the mind.
Encourage contact with family and close friends. A support system will help the family get through stressful times.
With proper treatment, PTSD effects can be minimized or eliminated. Today, there are several treatments available for PTSD. Medications may be effective; they are typically the same medications that are prescribed for depression. Get more information about PTSD treatment from a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) or by contacting a local VA sickbay or Vet Center. Active duty military should seek help for PTSD from a MTF.

It would be excellent to talk to a chaplain or a family service center representative on your base. It is habitual to have adverse reactions to these events, but it never hurts him to talk to someone about it. You are a fantastic wife. Thanks for looking out for him. We (guys) don’t like admitting weakness, so you may have to help him go see these folks. Don’t harass him, maybe you go, and have the chaplain stop by and take him to lunch.
Excellent luck
To me it beyond doubt sounds like PTSD and something that he does need help with. As hard as it is to admit they do need help as they are only human. Go to http://www.militaryonesource.com and they will have some information. you can also call and request counseling, it is strictly confidential and up to 12 sessions at no charge. He needs to talk about it, let it go. It is something that will take awhile, something he won’t necessarily want to talk to you about but needs someone. You should also seek information for yourself on this.
Well, its beyond doubt excellent that he’s talking to you about it! I can’t even start to imagine what soldiers go through over there. It could very well be PTSD. If this is the case, do you reckon he’d be willing to talk to a counselor? A military-counselor who deals with PTSD? My brother-in-law went through a lot of the same, and talking to a counselor and being in “support-groups” with other soldiers that went through some of the same really helped him. He said he could talk to his wife, but he could really relate to the other soldiers. All I can say, is pray about it. God will lead the way! Excellent luck to you and your family, and thank you for your service!
Being an Army Sister, I’m used to hearing about these things. It could be PTSD…. Some soldiers don’t talk about it,so feel lucky that he talks to you about it. And your most certainly right,war changes them. My brother hasn’t and still won’t talk about his first tour,but he’s alot different…. and is about to go on his 2nd tour in less than a month! I wish you the best of luck!!
God Bless
I would urge you to let his Top or First Sergeant know and let them approach him about it. Things like this can affect people in a lot of different ways and sometimes they can work through it themselves while others don’t and then other problems surface as a result of it. They can surpass relate to him about this since they have doubtless been deployed themselves and give him some information and even force him to go to counseling if they reckon it is warranted. A huge amount of time and effort in the military is washed-out on training and indoctrinating its members to be strong and to handle things but that type of attitude works against them in something like this and with them seeking and getting help I reckon. Help is available for those that need it but oftentimes it takes a small nudging for people to go and seek it.
definetely is PTSD he needs to get into a support group it will DEF help. you can listen but cant relate get him to one as quick as doable.
