P.T.S.D 

(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

 

Although this web site was created for ex-servicemen & women who think they are suffering from PTSD, it has become very apparent over the past few years that anyone who suffers from PTSD can and have been gaining benefit from visiting and using the resources within it.  

I welcome you all and my aim is to get total recognition of PTSD and especially help and support for everyone.  I hope you get something out of my website? and if you feel you would like to leave a positive message for others then please fell free to do so in the guestbook.

I have tried to include as much information as I can to help people find the specific help that they need.  Please click onto any of the links which you feel will help you the most.

"Unfortunately I do not provide a phone service from my website as because I am not a professional medical person or trained in that, I do not feel comfortable being in a one-to-one verbal situation as this I feel is a very specialist skill.

Hope This Helps?  Andy

 

At this point I must pay a personal and HUGE thank you, to two ladies from America who both helped me when I really needed it and also inspired me to create this web site for all British servicemen & women.

Their names are Betty & Marci.  Without their help this web site would not be here, I would still be seriously depressed and the help that hundreds of ex-servicemen & women need in this country would not be available.

Unfortunately their websites are no longer available but if their are any American or Canadian servicemen & women who are reading this and would like to get the specific help from their own country please click on the 'Veterans Around The World' link above.  

In addition there are also links to websites for British, Polish, Dutch, Australian & Russian veterans.

 

If you have any comments about my website or would like to see anything added for future releases please send these comments to the webmaster@ptsd.org.uk

Please can I ask everyone not to send any attachments with their email (without previously asking), as I will just delete the email as an email virus precaution.  This is due to many malicious emails being sent recently with viruses attached that my system has detected and removed.
