ptsd was not first recognized until 1980.asked -- my grandfather was a world war ii veteran. he never talked about his war experience. we didn't know until he looked up his records. a lot of world war ii veterans -- ptsd was not something you could have. there was no word for it. there were terms for it, but it was not treated by psychiatry. i've been having nightmares for years. let's talk about this. let's look into this. >> i think the book is incredible not only for people like us to have a better more visceral understanding of what ptsd sufferers are going through, but hopefully cathartic. >>> a trip down abby's road and a pathway to the american dream. >>> it is time for the "your business entrepreneur of the week." when they left their portland based company sea bags beth needed some new blood for the business. she found the perfect match in don oaks and fran phillip. an impart one lesson to a new business owner, it would be one thing i've learned is my philosophy is real simple american express open forum is an on-lin

the war against ptsd the va is fighting, it's very broad scale. a good job, but it's got to get a lot better. >> how about -- i want to take a quote from your book. it was very powerful when i read it. and i quote, trauma is the glimpse of truth that tells us a lie. the lie that love is impossible that peace is an illusion. therapy and medication can ease the pain but neither can suck the venom from our blood, make the survivor unsee the darkness and unknow the secret that lies beneath the surface. so therapy basically, you know, your argument at least when i take this is therapy and treatment just doesn't teach you how to deal with something it doesn't solve the problem. >> that's the interesting thing. people want to talk about it as if it's a brain event, a brain problem, the chemicals in your brain change. it's a whole personal event. it changes you existentially, psychologically. you look at the social world differently. i voted for bush the first time when i went to iraq 2004 as a reporter. my political views changed radically. my relationsh

but ptsd can destroy a person's ability to live in the present. in the book i describe it as it being a disease of time because it corrupts not only your general sense of being but actually your experience of time itself. which is this basic human concept, this basic human idea of being in time. >> that makes people not understand what you're going through. it's not just veterans. survivors of rape, natural disasters. you describe it as being on the other side of something as well. >> yes going through a traumatic experience. going through a war, a rape, tsunami, and you come back to the regular world. you come back to the relief camp or the united states after the war, it's almost like time travel. you've changed. your experience of time has changed and everyone back home has stayed the same. so you are in a way out of time with the regular work ada world and it feels like time travel. >> and you describe it as a problem of living after having almost died. >> yes and for a lot of people in the wake of severe--like a very close near death experien

you talk about it, i don't think ptsd is going to go away. it is something you have to learn to live with an workaround, but but it's definitely something controllable and something that can be put to the back of your mind. excuse me. but i also know that it is going to be difficult for them to talk to somebody who hasn't in the encino. unless you have been there and witnessed it and gone through it and felt it they may have a hard time talking to you about it. the only thing you can do is be there for them. if they want to talk let them talk. let them tell you what other and no matter how bad, how shocking it may be, just love them. give them your undying support and let them know i am here for you. no matter what you've seen what you've done i am here for you because you served for me and now i'm going to serve you. as far as the rest of your family thank you so much for everything your family has done and i'm really sorry that your son has gone through and made such sacrifices. i definitely wish of the best. postcode here is the book "amer

we carry in our memory, part of our d.n.a., ptsd. part of that, with black and brown boys, is emaculation. i've heard a lot of my kids in my neighborhood became cops. i used to hear them like i will f somebody up if they look at me wrong. a lot of times i had to be careful, more so, with, you know, people who look like me and my family members. so there's a lot of things from the bottom that we're not dealing with not only in the penal system and with cops, but also just in our community that we have to deal with. and i think that's at the bottom of all of this ptsd. then you look at -- i think ptsd is even kor do correlated to black-on-black crime and brown-on-black crime. how are you going to stop committing acts of violence on other people when you don't like what you see in the mirror? how are you going to start liking other people if you don't like what you see in the mirror? i think a lot of that stuff is really at the bottom of this, how we're not talking about race, and thank god we're here, and these kind of things in our so
