When Veterans Come Home: PTSD, Suicide, and Life After Service

A veteran comes home to a family they've missed. The kids have grown, the household has found its own rhythm, and what happened overseas can be hard to put into words.

In episode 398 of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wyss discuss veteran suicide, PTSD, and life after military service. They explore what it's like to leave behind the daily routine and friendships of a platoon, reconnect with a spouse after deployment, and find your place in family life again.

Dr. Skip shares a Vietnam veteran's account of rescuing a wounded soldier and recalls what veterans told him about the welcome they received when they came home. The hosts also talk about moments families may recognize, from feeling on edge in a crowded store to being startled by the sound of children playing.

This Veterans Day, hear how The Spine Project supports veterans and military families, and how its Thanksgiving pumpkin pie fundraiser helps local veterans on the waitlist.
