Question

Grenda Castillo is a 25-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with PTSD. She recently returned from three tours in the army infantry in Afghanistan and Iraq. Her mother invited her to live at home with her two younger sisters until she finds a job and a new residence. Grenda is found in the living room or on the porch early in the morning asleep. She states that she is unable to sleep in her bed. Her youngest sister has awakened to hear her Grenda screaming and yelling in her sleep. Her sister wakes her up to find her crying and shaking. Grenda will not explain why she wakes up with such fright, but it continues to happen night after night. Grenda barely eats and hardly gets out of the house when her friends call. Her mother has offered to get her counseling, but Grenda states it won't help. Discuss the implications this case has on each family member. What long-term consequences are there in this situation?
