PTSD?
CTSI can be mild or devastating; it can simply mess with
someone in the background of their life or overwhelm and beat them
down. Just like "depression" or anything else, it might be used as an
excuse for poor behavior.
There is no cure and it will never go
away but it can be subdued!
One can learn to live with it by
understanding triggers and developing multiple coping mechanisms.
The
medical community relies on behavioral health sciences to define
Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and so the term "disorder" is used as a
traditional way to categorize the varied complications for doctors.
PTS
has a permanent physiological
affect on a person and
identifiable physical damages within the brain!!!

"...temporary & permanent..." "People who serve in the military and veterans can face unique challenges. There are many emotions involved with being at war, separated from loved ones, as well as the stressors that are inherent in multiple and extended deployments. The stress encountered in service abroad can also play a role in mental health issues, including anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse. In addition to these mental health issues, many soldiers have experienced traumatic brain injury or multiple concussions from combat.
The military and their families should have full access to counseling by mental health professionals to help them cope with temporary or permanent losses." http://www.psychiatry.org/mental-health/people/military
