In episode 65 my guest is Raynard Meridith, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a practice in Southfield Michigan. We are continuing to celebrate and acknowledge Mental Health Awareness Month during the month of May. During this episode Raynard and I are discussing "Post-traumatic Stress Disorder" which is often misunderstood in the community. Raynard provides us with the DSM-IV definition and gives examples of how PTSD effects individuals in our world. Raynard also provide intervention and coping strategies for families and individuals with PTSD.
