One of the biggest sources of anguish for people with PTSD is that they are baffled as to why they haven't been able to "be strong" and to get over their trauma and move on with their lives. Over the years, the author has developed a simple, intuitive Information Processing Model to help PTSD victims and their families understand why victims can't "just get over it." Demystifying PTSD uses everyday language to present this simple model without using complicated scientific terms. The model gives victims and their families hope because they finally feel like somebody understands what they have been going through. Demystifying PTSD also tackles the tricky issues of where to find treatment for different degrees of PTSD severity. The book is a "must have" for anybody who is either suffering from PTSD, or who suspects that their friend or loved one may have this devastating mental health disorder.
