“The Lost Road Home provides veterans and loved ones with the direction they need for help and recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).” Do you know a veteran changed by the experience of war? Have you noticed impatience, explosive anger, alcohol or drug abuse, hopelessness, isolation, depression or reckless behavior? If so, you may know someone suffering from PTSD. In The Lost Road Home, Milly Balzarini shares the poignant, heart-wrenching stories of veterans from wars in Vietnam, Iraq, Korea and World War II suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. For these veterans, their world had changed. They had changed. Many felt lost and isolated because they returned to a world that refused to hear, or couldn’t understand, the trauma they had experienced in war. Because of these readjustment problems, an estimated 150,000 veterans from Vietnam alone committed suicide. Even today an estimated 6,200 veterans, including soldiers returning from Iraq, commit suicide each year—that’s 18 veterans a day, a rate twice that of the national average. This book provides help to veterans and families coping with post-traumatic stress disorder and shares the practical, real-world symptoms of PTSD along with how to get the medical and financial help so desperately needed.
What The Critics Are Saying:
"The author knows of what she speaks. She is the wife of a Vietnam veteran, a great warrior who has ever so gradually been readjusting to being home. She may be responsible for keeping him alive when he went through his darkest moments."
Dan Forrester, Ph.D., LMSW (from the Foreword)
"Milly and Ted Balzarini literally saved my life. I say that from the bottom of my heart."
Anton Knauf, veteran with PTSD
"This book will not only help veterans and their families, but doctors as well."
Larry Carlyon, M.D., Internist, VA Clinic
