Post Traumatic Stress Suicide
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Suicide
My grandfather, who served in the Vietnam war in the 1960’s, started suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) within 2 months after he returned home from combat. After all the tragedy he experienced during the war, it has been so hard for him to forget, and adapt to the environment. Every time he goes to the restaurant, or any place that is surrounded with too many people, he gets panic attacks. He also faces difficulty sleeping, blames himself, and feels guilty because of what happened to some of his friends who were with him in the battle, and did not return home alive from combat. He even thought about taking his own life by shooting himself in the head because he was very depressed,
