PTSD stands or post-traumatic stress disorder. It is a mental illness that some people get after witnessing or experiencing a dangerous or fearful event in their life (BOOK).

That scares his wife and drives their marriage apart. He later agrees to seek medical attention and stops touring Iraq with his fellow Navy Seal buddies. Chris Kyle gets his life back and renews his relationship with his wife and looks like the old Chris we
