About my book. Within these folds is the true story of PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I began with a belief that I was not prejudice in my quest to find answers. I wanted a definite answer to the title of my book. Personally I believe PTSD is injurious to veterans in that it is a label meaning crazy. I have studied and researched to find an answer and I believe I have arrived at an actual conclusion, which is, if you want it, you have it and if you do not want it you do not have it. Scientifically I am correct. Medically, I am correct. But through it all there is something wrong and I have found out what that something is but you have to read this book to learn what it is that I have found. I have engaged my investigative experiences to uncover a hidden secret and between the covers of this book lies that secret.
