PTSD no one sees it coming, till it's here

Spouse Calls: PTSD spouses should seek support

Shortly after my husband and I were married, he was deployed for his third tour of Iraq. We had been together going on ten years and had seen two tours, so I didn't expect this to be much different...Stars and Stripes - http://www.stripes.com/

This is one example out of hundreds of thousands. No one ever sees it coming, unless they know what they are looking for, but you never really know for sure if it will show up now, or years later. It comes when it comes. They know it, they feel it and they try to deal with it, hiding it from everyone. At least they think they are hiding it. If they come into contact with people who know what PTSD, great, the signs are noticed and help is a hand away. Yet if they don't know what it is, you just don't see what the changes mean.
