    Billy Craig served in heavy combat in Afghanistan at age 19 and was relieved to be sent home after being wounded. Years later, he worked as a forest ranger but was a loner who did not talk about his wartime experiences. Television coverage of anniversaries of 9/11 triggered flashbacks and nightmares for Billy, and he began experiencing anger, easy startling, and depression. Rangers found Billy in his cabin surrounded by guns and grenades, saying he should have died in Afghanistan, and admitted he intended to shoot himself. Billy was diagnosed with and treated for delayed posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression.

    Case Study

    Billy Craig was 19 years old when he spent a year in heavy combat in Afghanistan.
    Although he was upset when his buddies were killed, he was secretly relieved when his wounds
    got him sent home. He studied forestry and became a ranger in a national forest. He was
    considered a loner and showed no interest in marriage. He never talked about his experience
    in Afghanistan with anyone.

    During the television coverage of the latest anniversary of the World Trade Center and
    Pentagon Tragedies, Billy began to have nightmares and flashbacks about killing the enemy and
    about a friend who was dismembered. Billy became angry more frequently and startled easily.
    After a month of not seeing him, other rangers found Billy in his cabin, very depressed and
    surrounded by old guns and grenades. He kept repeating that he should have died in
    Afghanistan too. He admitted that he was intending to shoot himself. With effort, the rangers
    convinced him to go with them to mental health center, where he was admitted, diagnosed
    with, and treated for delayed posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression.
