Depression is a medical condition – like cardiovascular disease or diabetes – and can be treated. With treatment, most people with depression get better. Offer hope and keep reassuring your family member that, with time and help, he or she will feel better.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event. The most common symptoms of PTSD include re-experiencing troublesome memories or thoughts; avoidance of people, places or things; negative changes in thoughts or mood; changes in physical or emotional reactions, and more. If these concerns continue for more than one month, they may be signs of PTSD. A health care provider can help you manage your symptoms.
Combat Stress Reactions (CSRs) are normal, temporary physical, behavioral, emotional, and mental changes that occur in reaction to extremely stressful combat-related events.1 Immediate CSRs last from hours to days and may affect a service member’s ability to function.
