EXPERTS STAY WATCHFUL FOR STRESS DISORDER IN VETERANS
Experts on post traumatic stress disorder are keeping a close eye on
returning veterans, aiming to get an early start on possible
treatments before the condition spirals out of control.
People who suffer from PTSD relive a traumatic event over and over
again. Left untreated, veterans can suffer from symptoms for decades.
According to Mike Clements, Portage County's veterans service officer,
more than 20 percent of combat veterans initially show signs of PTSD. The condition is caused by a violent, traumatic event that is relived
through flashbacks and nightmares. Clements said he has spoken with
many combat veterans from several wars who suffer from the condition.
