How to recognize ptsd in veterans
Watch for irritable or panicked behavior.
Veterans with ptsd often struggle to control their behavior or emotional responses, and may show anger in response to a disproportionately small stimulus. Irritable behavior can include inappropriately angry or panicked reactions.
