Two Vietnam Vets Reveal PTSD & What Gave It To Them. Filmed In 1970
These interviews were recorded in 1970 by local Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania filmmakers and never presented on TV. At the time, hundreds of thousands of veterans were returning from the war in Vietnam and few were speaking about it publicly or even to their families. We now understand so much more about PTSD which both of these vets clearly had.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that occurs after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, such as combat, a natural disaster, a car accident or sexual assault. It is characterized by symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Estimating the exact number of Vietnam War veterans who suffered from PTSD as a result of their service is difficult due to the stigma associated with mental health issues which lead to underreporting and changes in the understanding and diagnosis of PTSD over time.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, about 15% of Vietnam veterans were diagnosed with PTSD at the time of the most recent study in the late 1980s. It’s also estimated that about 30% of Vietnam veterans have had PTSD in their lifetime.
