PTSD affects almost 7% of America's adult population. That figure is nearly doubled in young adult veterans returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom. While there have been some significant advances in mental health treatments for PTSD, nearly half of patients who enroll in treatment either drop out or remain symptomatic. Given those figures and a growing tide of soldiers returning home from combat operations abroad, researchers are working to identify new and innovative treatment approaches for recovery from PTSD.

The above approaches suggest innovative and compelling potentials for treating PTSD and its related problems. For now, however, these treatments remain mostly experimental (in some cases, illegal) and in need of further refinement and validation. For more information on PTSD and treatment, visit NIMH's website. For help, consult a mental health professional in your area.
And yes I recommend going to the NIMH's website

I second that, Al. PTSD is real and can be extremely devastating but there's a lot of help these days.
A very much needed article, Al.
