Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury A Reference, Resource and Guide

Many individuals have different signs and forms of PTSD and TBI. Some have fallen and hit their head, -can be compared to sports injuries-, by a vehicle or thrown from a horse, - like my oldest daughter has for both of these incidents-. This is for anyone who has or knows someone who is or has. So they have various information I have complied within this document to become more aware of what PTSD and TBI is, as well, signs, complications, diagnosis, and treatment. There are those who have these, including their family, with symptoms and are dealing with the doctors, and their lack of understanding and sometimes compassion. Even veterans seeking the help and insight within the VA can find that at times difficult and at times somewhat confusing as the information and statements I will seem provide why that may happen.
Further, concerning PTSD and TBI, there are reports from the VA directly related to Veterans that address the report from Veterans Administration indicates that twenty-two soldiers everyday take their lives! To them their fight came to an end. This is tragic since they returned home only to find their new life here harder to adjust to. The possibly thoughts and range of emotions they had to deal with that came home with them have plagued them constantly. And many of our troops may have been identified as having PTSD, or TBI, with symptoms of having anxiety, adjustment disorders, and problems with alcohol and other drugs. Some of the recent returned Veterans have had Traumatic brain injuries that are similar to PTSD problems. Both of these symptoms have their loved one’s grasping for answers, for a Veteran or non-Veteran, and I hope this directs them to be able to not only understand what they are facing, but be able to respond correctly, medically and spiritual speaking to find wholeness for the person they love.
