Military PTST Support Benefits

August 7, 2008 By admin

Each time we are facing a war or a conflict as a nation brings different stress to the families and Servicemembers involved. Its hard to say now what kinds of stresses that families and Servicemembers have endured in Vietnam, Korea, or even World War II. Many times in the past people who struggled it was referred to as the ?thousand yard stare.? People and medical personnel have information and knowledge now, in addition to research that no one knew in the past. People who suffered were not diagnosed properly, many Servicemembers and Veterans returned from War and had to literally suffer in total silence, without the support and assistance that they badly needed. It is now suspected and thought that a lot of those individuals likely had a variation of stress and posttraumatic stress happening in their lives.

Many people suspect that they have members of their family who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress but they are not sure. They should urge the Servicemember to be evaluated or at least talk to a professional to help them get evaluated. People who suspect that their loved one has PTSD should urge the Servicemember to be evaluated, and to seek help. PTSD is an insidious thing; it can be dormant and not present itself long after returning home. Many spouses of Servicemembers know that the one number that is important is one. No one is sure how many people are affected every year, but the number of Servicemembers that seem affected increase every year. It is not known how many of the Veterans coming back off of active duty or combat action that have PTSD syndrome, but as any loved one or family member there is only one number that is the most important.

That number is: One. If you think that your Servicemember is affected, try to sit down and talk to other family members, see if they are observing what you are seeing. If they are, then its time to consider an intervention, or at the very least confronting the Servicemember in a non threatening manner, being supportive and helping them know that no matter what you are behind them.

It can be embarrassing or cause a loss of confidence to admit when you are struggling or having emotional issues, but with a lot of family support then people can often get the help that they require.
