Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

A new study on the prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among firefighters in Israel indicates that approximately 90 percent show some form of full or partial symptoms.

According to the study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev's Dr. Marc Lougassi, a firefighter himself, 24 percent of active firefighters in Israel suffer from full PTSD, 67 percent display partial PTSD while only nine percent showed no symptoms.

PTSD can occur after exposure to serious injury to oneself or another, or another's death and then result in recurring stress symptoms such as nightmares, trouble sleeping and other difficulties for over a month.

According to Dr. Lougassi, "Professional firefighters are frequently exposed to extreme stress during their work in emergency situations. In addition to the physical challenges of firefighting, they must evacuate burned and injured victims or bodies. Their involvement in traumatic events exposes them not only to the pressures stemming from the traumatic event itself, but also to post-traumatic emotional expressions that result in secondary traumatization."

Soldiers returning from combat from very volatile situations to suddenly being once again apart of suburban lifestyle can be a awkward & uncomfortable feeling. Many soldiers that the CTC have worked with said they found it “hard to adjust.. fit in” one ex paratrooper who has not been in service for over 15 years admitted that “he never really left the army”. Fortunatly for these service men they have found peace of mind and a way to deal with the the images they see day in day out in their mind.
