Preoccupied with Danger: A Nuclear Reaction by John B. Jaymes

From the Publisher

Weapons of mass destruction are not new in the arsenal of war; there has been time for rogue groups to acquire them. These weapons can already be in the wrong hands and any homeland defense must recognize the threat. Jack lived with chronic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for over forty years before he heard of the diagnosis but when he did, he knew he had it. With competent psychiatric evaluations he was able to know this for sure in 1999. Only since 1980 has the disorder been recognized as a separate stress injury. Jack’s Veterans’ Administration evaluation for his problems in 1977 was “chronic anxiety neurosis” and close enough to know it was the same disorder.

This book illustrates how this stress injury can be tolerated for a long time and what damage this can do to the lives of the victim, his family, his career and to society. Early treatment can provide relief from this long-term disorder and it is important to get competent help. Military veterans mistake PTSD for only being a combat related injury. Jack never was in a combat zone but the trauma he experienced was just as harmful.
