<p>Key Facts on Stress and PTSD for Navy &amp; USMC Leaders<br>Jennifer Webb-Murphy, PhD<br>Naval Center for Combat &amp; Operational Stress Control<br><br>Background<br>A wealth of scientific research on a variety of military populations provides evidence that certain stress reactions — including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety and alcohol abuse — increase in service members deployed to combat. The effects of these reactions negatively impact a warrior’s ability to fight efficiently and remain a fully functioning and productive member of the combat unit.<br>The Naval Center for Combat &amp; Operational Stress Control (NCCOSC) provides these quick facts to emphasize the need to train our Sailors and Marines to be constantly on alert for stress reactions in themselves and in their Shipmates and fellow Marines. The earlier a stress injury is treated, the better the chance for recovery or, at least, a lessening of symptoms.<br></p>
