Battle Scars: From Hero to Haunted | Chris Whittemore | CCAB

A combat veteran is an individual who has served in active military combat zones and has experienced the terrifying and harrowing events associated with war. As a result, they often endure and carry with them the psychological effects that can arise from these traumatic experiences.

The terrors of war can encompass a range of life-altering events, such as witnessing death, engaging in intense combat, facing the constant threat of harm, and living in a high-stress environment for extended periods. These experiences can lead to a variety of psychological effects, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, survivor's guilt, and moral injury.

These psychological effects can profoundly impact a combat veteran's ability to navigate everyday life. Relationships may be strained, social functioning may be hindered, and employment may become challenging. Seeking professional help, engaging in support groups, and participating in various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or group therapy, are crucial components of the healing process.
