I am 50+ and have a friend who suffers PTSD. I was wanting to learn more about this condition so that I might understand it a little more and help my friend

Hi and welcome, be sure to check out the Welcome Area, the PTSD wiki's.
Also check out the Supporters and PTSD sections, there is so much information here.

Hi Hiboo,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum. It is so good that you are learning about PTSD to support your friend more effectively. Having the support of friends and family is extremely important for healing.

Take care.

Hi Hiboo, your friend is so lucky to have your support.

Maybe in time they would like to look at the information here. For me, it was great to know that I was not alone and that people here understood.

Remember to take care of yourself as well.
