The War In Afghanistan: The War At Home

US Soldier Specialist Adam Ramsey, 22, experiences a psychotic disturbance at his home in Carson City, Nevada. While serving a 12-month deployment in Afghanistan Ramsey was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). While in Nevada on leave, he experienced hallucinations, depression, and suicidal thoughts; he self-medicated mixing prescribed medications with alcohol, a common practice among soldiers with post-deployment disorders. Fearing that he would take his own life, Ramsey checked himself in to a mental health hospital after he returned from Nevada to Fort Drum.
