Lyndsey
Edi Stark hears from people who live with someone affected by mental health issues. Lyndsey explains how her soldier husband's post-traumatic stress disorder affected their lives.
The sounds and sights of war are not unfamiliar, brought to us by the media on a daily basis, albeit in a censored version. But what is not commonly reported is the trauma beyond the battlefield, as soldiers return home and struggle with the demons in their head...the memories, flashbacks and pain of what they have seen. And even less do we hear about how military post traumatic stress affects their loved ones.
Suicide attempts, heavy drinking, verbal abuse, debt; becoming homeless; Edi Stark speaks to Lyndsey about the 'Ripple Effect' of living with her husband's Military PTSD condition and how it nearly tore their marriage and family life apart.
