Veterans with PTSD

The video above shows a variety of Veterans and how they all share the disorder of post traumatic stress disorder. It was posted to YouTube in December of 2011 and was made by the account called "Make the Connection" which is a video account raising awareness for Veterans.
In this specific video, men and women Veterans from different ages and races share their symptoms and thoughts of PTSD. They all say that they were not aware they had PTSD. Each victim shares their different emotions and how they dealt with it. One man says that he slept with a knife in his hand and how any slight noise would wake him up. Another says that he turned to drinking to cope with the pain because his "consciousness was not attractive."
This video was created for the support and awareness of veterans with PTSD. The patients make it very clear that therapy is very important and can help victims.
