Marcus and Amber Capone examine whether PTSD diagnoses fit veterans who've faced 51 or more life-threatening events during service. They explore how mild traumatic brain injury, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse complicate the picture, questioning if childhood trauma plays a larger role than combat alone.
How many drinks do you have a week? 1 to 2, 3 to 5, 7 to 9. But they were talking about how many times was your life in peril, and they got to 51 or more. Like, I've never truly thought that I was gonna lose my life, death was imminent. We talk a lot about the PTSD label. I think it can be overused. Guys I worked with, we wanted to go overseas, we wanted to fight for our country, we wanted to do the things that we had trained for 300 days a year while we were gone. I think I still really struggle, and I know many of the guys do. It's like, do I really have PTSD, or is it some of the stuff we experienced when we were children. We talk about mild TBI, potentially worse than just, say, having a single concussion, and these are reflecting themselves through depression, anxiety, panic attacks, potentially drinking or other substance use disorder.
