(AGENPARL) – CANBERRA mer 29 giugno 2022 Death by “a thousand cuts” was how veteran, and recently retired Army signals officer, Mike Armstrong described his PTSD.
He said trauma could be caused by a single event or many smaller experiences that accumulated over time – which is what happened to him.
“It can be a lifetime of events. That’s why it’s difficult to identify and is why it was hard for me to see it in myself because I was looking for a single large event,” Mr Armstrong said.
“I’ve had PTSD [compounded] for 15 years, through multiple deployments.”
