PTSD Increases Risk of Eating Disorders & Addictions

Army General Chiarelli suggests that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) should be called Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) because military personnel don't take it seriously enough. Military service women who have been through traumatic stress situations are more likely to use food or drugs to reduce stress. This type of emotional coping behavior is seen in other traumatic events such as rape.
