Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

When we were recently discussing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in class it made me think about how this disorder has effected my family. My grandfather fought in the Vietnam War and I remember him telling me how bad things were and some of the things that he saw were things that no human should see. He is completely fine and did not discover any of these symptoms for this disorder but he says he still recalls thing about the war sometimes. It is eye opening that 7-8% of people will suffer from PTSD at some point and with the war currently it may even go up. This disorder thankfully has not hurt my family but it is something that anyone can experience after seeing a traumatic event.
