increased arousal, to include nervousness, over-reaction to sudden noises, (are you jumpy?), difficulty sleeping (night sweats), and nightmares (ever hit your wife, girlfriend in your sleep, or are they scared to wake you up?).
bouts of "inappropriate" rage and-or depression.
difficulty relating emotionally to others.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.
Signs & Symptoms
People with PTSD have persistent frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal and feel emotionally numb, especially with people they were once close to. They may experience sleep problems, feel detached or numb, or be easily startled.

This really brought to light for me how much child trauma affects the human body it is equaled to combat ptsd. You can look really like nothing is wrong on the outside but your insides know, we need to educate people about ptsd so we can all heal soldiers included.
