The Vietnam War has claimed tens of thousand of victims to PTSD. This syndrome can affect anyone who has survived a severe and unusual physical or mental trauma. Survivors of life- threatening events may develop this illness, which tends to be more severe the less it was anticipated. Some victims rexpierience the traumatic events through nightmares and flashbacks. Others numb themselves emotionally, startle easily, and experience anxiety attacks, insomnia, poor memory, difficulty concentrating, and feel guilty about their survival.
