A plain-English resource for people suffering from the aftereffects of a traumatic experience. An estimated five percent of Americans--over 13 million people--suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at any given time, and approximately eight percent will develop it at some time in their lives. With recent traumatic events such as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina as well as the ongoing war in Iraq, the incidence of PTSD is on the rise. Written for PTSD sufferers and their loved ones, this practical, unintimidating guide gives people the lowdown on symptoms, details today's various treatment options, offers practical coping strategies for day-to-day life, and even shows how to help children with PTSD.--From publisher description.
