I was so homicidal, so suicidal, all my thoughts each day were about the adrenaline high of confrontation. --James, Operation Phoenix in Laos, Vietnam, Korea



The first time I shot up cocaine, I fell instantly in love... I sold drugs.

--Joe, U.S. Navy, addicted for 18 years

PTSD is America's secret epidemic.
Homes, streets, schools become combat zones.

  Often called "the hero's disease" because of its belated appearance in rescue workers, police, and
fire fighters after they've fought to save others from accidents, crimes, or natural disasters, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder also affects children exposed to family violence, victims of terrorist acts, sexual abuse and even motor vehicle accidents. Sudden rage, impulsive violence, self-medicating with drugs and alcohol: PTSD is contagious. But now effective non-drug treatment is available.

     This report covers five men and a youth who struggle with rage, depression, alcoholism, insomnia, emotional numbness and drug abuse.

It highlights problems with many pharmaceutical drugs prescribed for PTSD and explores an emerging non-drug treatment shown effective for ending PTSD and substance abuse, breaking the chain of violence and returning families to healthy lives.                    .
