Angela Holmes (Wife of a Veteran with PTSD) talks about how PTSD treatment changed things.

His trigger points would cause him to lose a job

because his employers would not understand what PTSD is,

and stress level just from a normal everyday job

hits military members that have PTSD different

than what a normal everyday person would.

With him going through therapy, he's able to

at least hang on to a job for over a year,

and that right there is an accomplishment for him.

Other people would look at it and say,

"Oh, he can only hang on to a job for a year?"

To me, that is him getting out in the public,

being able to work with his skills

that he has worked on all of his life.

And then all of a sudden now doesn't want to be in the public.

And with those therapy classes, has gotten him back out there,

not sitting in front of a TV, or computer game, or Xbox for

hours on end because they're trying to get rid of a reality.
