Trauma of War
TIME Magazine | 30 November 2009 issue
20 November 2009
In retrospect, disneyland wasn't an ideal family-vacation spot for Mark Waddell, a Navy SEAL commander whose valor in combat hid the fact that he was suffering from severe mental trauma. The noise of the careening rides, the shrieking kids--everything roused Waddell to a state of hypervigilance typical of his worst days in combat. When an actor dressed as Goofy stuck his long, doggy muzzle into his face, Waddell recalls, "I wanted to grab Goofy by the throat."
The November 30, 2009 issue of Time magazine looks at PTSD in Trauma of War: The Private Hell of PTSD. Mark and Marshele are some of the sources interviewed for this article. You may read it via this link
