Resources exist to help deal with effects of PTSD ST.

"To me, there wasn't anything wrong with me. I was a Marine. I didn't believe in post-traumatic stress disorder. 'They' were just a bunch of people that were whining and crying for sympathy," said Cantonwine. But his wife, KayAnne, always knew something had a grip on him, though she didn't have words to explain their experiences. So the two blindly worked their way through, daily facing and unknowingly dealing with the symptoms of PTSD.

But there's healing that takes place," said KayAnne.
