Synopsis

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a natural emotional reaction to a deeply shocking and disturbing experience. The symptoms are surprisingly common and include: sleep problems, impaired memory, inability to concentrate, hypervigilance (feels like but is not paranoia), exaggerated startle response and hypersensitivity, panic attacks, irritability and violent outbursts, joint/muscle pains, and feelings of nervousness and anxiety.

A former sufferer of PTSD, David Kinchin tells his story and those of ten others. He describes in plain language what it is like to suffer from PTSD and explains all the complications the disorder can include. He gives advice on seeking help and the treatments available. Now David Kinchin shares his knowledge and insight in a unique book by a former PTSD sufferer for PTSD sufferers, showing you how to recover and put the experience behind you.
