It is difficult to return home from an intensive combat environment. It takes a lot
of understanding and patience on the home front as our troops adjust back to
their previous lives. It is even tougher for those who sustained a TBI during
their combat tour. Family and close friends of troops returning from combat
should understand and watch for TBI and traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
symptoms. Diagnosis and treatment of TBI should occur as soon as possible
after the injury. Find more information about PTSD at www.ncptsd.va.gov.
