Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a form of depression mainly seen in soldiers returning from war.

Consequently, it is very important that the friends and relatives of a returning soldier keep an eye on his or her behavior and be ready to provide or suggest help if the soldier seems to need it.
