A Support Group for Combat PTSD

By John M Grohol PsyD
May 20, 2008

In an effort to help soldiers returning home from active combat duty, we’ve recently begun a support group for people who’re dealing with combat PTSD and related issues. This independent support group is pseudonymous and open to all military members who want to exchange support and advice with others. (PTSD is posttraumatic stress disorder and affects many soldiers who’ve seen active combat duty.)

Please spread the word about this important resource. We hope members of the military find this combat PTSD forum helpful for their psychological needs.

“A Support Group for Combat PTSD”

My name is Christian and I work for MTV True life. True Life is a documentary series that’s been on MTV for 10 years. Each episode of “True Life” is about a different topic. Most of the topics have some global, social or personal importance, like this one. Some of them are about youth culture, like episodes about gamers or cheerleaders. All episodes aim to tell deeply personal stories. There is no host, reporter or narrator. The young people tell their own stories in their own voices. So what we are looking for are veterans of the Iraq War who appear to be 28 years old or younger and have either been diagnosed with PTSD or have symptoms of PTSD. We’re looking for veterans who are willing to share their struggle with PTSD with a national audience. If you or someone you know is interested in speaking with us about participating in this documentary, please contact us at:
