Subject: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Dear Mr. Lawrence:
I am submitting to you the report, due April 11, 2012, that you requested. In writing this report I had hopes to help with funding as well as participation in developing more programs for victims to get involved in. I believe this will create more public awareness for outsiders to lend a helping hand to those troubled with this terrible disorder. More helping hands, will allow more doors to be opened for the ones diagnosed with this disorder to be cured.
In the paper I briefly covered the history of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, for anyone who may have not known, or needed further detail to better understand. I then gave an inside look on how one with the disorder feels, also for better understanding. There are examples of personal experiences an individual was embraced with in developing this disorder. As one further reads this report, they become knowledgeable to the causes, effects, and outcomes of the disorder, as well as methods of treatment. The end of the report states a few ideas that I personally believe would also help the situation.
I just want to thank you Mr. Lawrence for your time, and allowing me to write this report. If you wish to contact me, I can be phoned at; 419.442.9248, emailed at; cieara.beacham@utoledo.edu, or addressed at; 1039 Steeplebush Dr. Toledo, OH 43615.
