PTSD Affects Personal Accountability

Our culture puts a high value on personal accountability, self determination etc. It's one of the most difficult aspects of gaining support when struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When a loved one, friend or colleague is let down due to forgetfulness, tardiness, absent mindedness, triggers or mental blocks, the potential to damage the fundamental relationship is very high. These benchmark aspects of interacting with each other provide a structure and foundation so that collaboration can take place between people and groups. Without the ability to play by these rules, a PTSD sufferer is at a clear disadvantage. The battle grounds are invisible, but the loss of impact and human potential is very real.
