PTSD Research.

PTSD Research findings and what we need to look out for as a group. 

What is PTSD?

TSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault.

It's normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. At first, it may be hard to do normal daily activities, like go to work, go to school, or spend time with people you care about. But most people start to feel better after a few weeks or months.

If it's been longer than a few months and you're still having symptoms, you may have PTSD. For some people, PTSD symptoms may start later on, or they may come and go over time.

PTSD in Soldiers: 

PTSD is found commonly in those who have served in the military. 

"Post-traumatic Stress Disorder can occur following a life-threatening event like military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults like rape. Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. However, some people have stress reactions that don't go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD."

These effects that are found in soldiers can be created from such life threatening events that, if anything that may seem similar to the event can trigger the PTSD to take effect, therefore there may be either, a disclaimer in our trailer/film to identify these issues or a minimal amount of military footage that would become too sensitive for our audience.
