Post Traumatic Stress and the Military
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-03-12/post-traumatic-stress-and-military
The invisible wounds of war can take a heavy toll. Researchers are working to better understand - and treat - post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We explore the moral and ethical aspects of combat-related PTSD, as well as new efforts to push back against the stigmatization of the condition.
