Posttraumatic stress is something that's always existed. I think that the earliest recording was during the Trojan War, but it's only recently that we're beginning to be aware of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I investigated post-traumatic stress disorder. I've been to a unit where people are suffering from it, and I read a lot of literature. I looked at footage of soldiers in the combat zone. I found 'Restrepo' to be unbelievably useful.
And I think that it's - the military has actually made improvements, so people are considering post-traumatic stress disorder as, at the least, a possible psychological problem. You know, when I was in Vietnam, it was just considered malingering. And we're making progress.
It's time we learned the truth about stress. It's time we identified the thoughts that actually create our stress and learned to dismantle them one by one.
Some people are so used to experiencing stress that they don't remember what life was like without it.
I had every stress-related illness you can get.
I've seen a study in the last year that digital sound actually induces stress in the listener.
I do think there was a period there when my sanity was under intense pressure, and I didn't know what to say or do or how to act. I was literally living from day to day.
We experience moments absolutely free from worry. These brief respites are called panic.
Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.
Everything that's supposedly caused by stress, I tell people there's a Nobel Prize there if you find out the real cause.
