After War: Post-Traumatic Stress in America

After War: Post-Traumatic Stress in America

In a week-long series, The Takeaway explores the experience of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through the first-hand accounts of American veterans, their spouses, and their children. This series provides a multifaceted look at the medical, historical, and literary perspectives on PTSD. The Takeaway also hears from the sociologists and psychologists working to treat the condition, and we hear testimony of veterans around the country to examine the collective experience of PTSD.
