Civil War doctors called it hysteria, melancholia and insanity. During the First World War it was known as shell shock. By World War II, it became combat fatigue. Today, it is clinically known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a crippling anxiety that results from exposure to life-threatening situations such as combat. Brought to you by the award-winning team that produced Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq, and featuring insightful conversations between James Gandolfini and top US military personnel, this HBO Documentary Films presentation explores the lingering effects of combat stress and post-traumatic stress on military personnel and their families throughout recorded American military history.
