Hi I'm a senior in high school and am writing my senior thesis on PTSD in soldiers returning from Iraq. My thesis is "The debilitating effects of PTSD on soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are not being adequately acknowledged by the US military, nor are soldiers receiving proper treatment or being fairly compensated for its devastating effects on their lives."

I need some testimonies or stories about PTSD or any information you can provide if you know how many soldiers have it, how it effects them, what is being done for soldiers with PTSD or have any solutions. It would be greatly appreciated and very helpful.
Thank you!

Take a few moments and read through the many posts which are here. I think that you will find that there are many good stories here. Unfortunately we may not allow solicitations here; however you are more than welcome to read through the literally thousands of posts here to see if there is some information here which would be helpful to you.

Thanks.

Leatherneck Magazine has an article about contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune. Anyone who was stationed there between 1957 to 1987 may have medical problems from this water. Go to Leatherneck Magazine.com to see the article and register your self to find out if you were affected from drinking this contaminated water....Tom

Thanks for your posting!
