Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Data

Number of Pages 9

Post-traumatic stress disorder or what is more commonly referred to as PTSD has only been diagnosed using these terms since the late 1970s. It has always existed but it was known by any number of names in history. This paper explains what it is, the types of symptoms, the groups most likely to get it, how nurses can help these patients, and data from the wars. The second part discusses an innovative residential treatment center in New Mexico and reports the efforts the government is taking to help these vets. There are eleven sources used in this nine page paper.
