A new look on PTSD

I was working on a project dealing with PTSD and genetics for my comparative genomics class and came across an awesome song by Tom Smith titled 'Talking Post Trauma Blues.' Being an Iraq veteran, I added my own video and pictures to accompany the song. It's nothing fancy, but the song really says a lot of things that weigh on my mind and is very meaningful to me.

Heard the awesome song before, the video looks good. For some reason audio won't play on my browser (IE 7 or FF3)

It looks like YouTube updated stuff on the site and has caused it to drop sound. I'll see what I can do to fix this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

At the moment the MOD in britain is calling ptsd anxiety and depression so they dont have to pay the retiring soldiers a pension, when will we learn. If politicians had to fight the next war it would be the last war. SCUM.

@EugeneSchmittIV Hello, read what I said bro. I said "NOT ONLY" the military soldiers get PTSD. I have PTSD from watching my own brother get killed. . .

Phosphatidyl Serine Matrix. I'm trying to save the world. People that dont have PTSD after trauma, are nothing short of drones & monsters. Mindless fiends that feed on each others flesh. They are the parasite that rot in the brains of disposable heros. PTSD mindgate. The PTSD Awakening. PTSD= Psi/Time/Space/Dimension. Post Traverse Subconscious Database. PhoSPhaTa Dyl Serine maTrix. Whisper Whisper. Its time to discover YOUR mind. AWAKE!!!

I was in Vietnam and was diagnosed with PTSD in 1982. The claim was approved in '86. I made a lot of mistakes but I did succeed. So I'm making some videos to share what I learned about dealing with the VA. My channel is only concerned with getting a Service Connected claim check each month. I don't have any therapy advise and I am not qualified for that stuff.

@EugeneSchmittIV yeah. people who like to kill other people. People that they don't even know. People they know nothing about.

[1776bricks]

@debbiemagee23 Not quite. If politicians had to fight the next war, they would compromise and make peace, so, technically, the last war would be the last war and there would be no NEXT war.

The Military consists of PEOPLE! Watch your wording ASS!
