Combatting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Commander of the reconnaissance platoon 'Azov' Mykola 'Frost' Kush shared his experience in battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an interview for the 'Dachny Dvizh' project on YouTube channel. He talked about how his psychological state changed after assaults when every sharp sound can trigger a reaction.
'You get overwhelmed: your hands and feet feel like they are not yours, there is heat, and it takes a lot of resources to keep it in check,' - shares the military.
In ordinary life, Kush noticed that the effects of PTSD manifest in strong emotional outbursts. He used to be a calm person, but now he reacts impulsively even to an innocent word.
