I was browsing for PTSD articles on the Ft. Bragg, NC website. The thought stays in the forefront of my mind as part of my "to do list" before May.
There were 2 topics I clicked on last night while I was browsing the site. I thought it would be interesting to read about Preparing Families for Deployment and Preparing Families for return. The web pages could not be found, typical on any website. I've had a typo in a URL or in a link to page. No big deal.
Today, I can't even find references to the links. Where did they go? I'm sure its my fault as I must be looking at the wrong webpage. I'll have to go back and look at history. Its just going to take some time to hunt, time I really don't have. I don't believe I was using the search engine correctly today either. My bad
I did find a page on Preparing Children, that's good!
All I was wondering about was if the Fort was using such things as NAMI's Family to Family program. A few years back, Ft. Riley was going to have the class on base and off base. Preparing families is a good idea.
anyway,
Back to PTSD articles, the thought that stays in the forefront of my mind.
To keep away from talking about the same old thing or possibly of a conflict with any rule or regulation, I made my decision to discuss what has been going on across the pond since the early 1900's.
I've done a little research on a man in Essex County, England that has the same last name as mine and resided in the same location where my relatives lived before crossing the pond by going west. His research was amazing. I am in awe of his medical credentials. Neurology, Pathology, Psychiatry and Biochemistry, just to name a few. There's not much about his work with radio waves that I have found published. But this research was being done around the time he was hired by the British military.
I'll focus on British PTSD in the military and use the least amount about Americans. Perhaps it will give one a different perspective. It starts from the era of 1910's.
One thing I am certain of, he lived with a mental illness, just like me. References were made that when he didn't have a test subject, he would perform the test on himself.
I think I can use the title, PTSD in the Military from Across the Pond.
