Editor's Notes
- #3 Not only are military personnel at risk for PTSD but so are emgergency workers due to their exposure to events. Police are at higher risk because physical violence, or threats can be directed at them. There are also some that may experience PTSD because of sexual assaults.
- #4 PTSD can add more stress to the relationship as communication becomes difficult. Partners may become more stressed due to watching a love one go through flash backs. Some marriages due not last mostly due to the lack of communication and intimacy. Support has been noted to help with symptoms.
