Other Forms of Post Trauma Stress Disorder!
Altho I am a combat wounded Vietnam Veteran with a 100% service connected disability. There are many other types of trauma that produces PTSD that we need to look at within this site.
PTSD Support Services gives you only an overview of these "Stresses" or "Stressors" as they are known that produces PTSD. But if you move within the following links, you can expand your awareness.
We provide the links between PTSD that is experienced by:
- Car Accidents,
- Children exposed to trauma,
- Childhood Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,
- Emergency Technicians and Law Enforcement Personnel,
- Incest,
- Natural Disaster
- PTSD experienced by Rape Victims,
- Domestic Violence and
- Partners with PTSD.
Included within our page is a general overview of types of treatments and medications used to treat PTSD. NOT all treatments are best for me nor would they be right for you, but the answer (In General) is that PTSD will NEVER go away they can only treat it and educate you of its effects so we can handle it better. If you are having difficulties with your Combat PTSD please contact the nearest VA Vet Centers!
