Description

Post-traumatic stress disorder has been getting a lot of attention recently as soldiers are returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But PTSD can also affect civilians. William Edwards developed PTSD after witnessing a fatal shooting while on duty as a police officer in Camarillo, Calif. His life – and the lives of his family members – have never been the same since.
