finally the therapist has diagnosed ah with prolonged posttraumatic stress disorder. i have known for a long time that there was some mental illness, but could not put a handle on exactly what. now so much makes sense. he has all the symtoms. i hope he may now be able to get the treatment he needs with this and it helps just to have understanding.
the psd was caused by prolonged abuse, mental, physical, sexual. ah was adopted. both biological parents were alcoholics and he biological dad was a vet that suffered from psd after coming home from war. ah was then in several foster homes. the people that adopted him were severily abusive to him. he went from a bad situation to a worse one.
so, those with any experience with this. what do i need to know? what can be done to help?
thanks
