Love, War, and PTSD: Anna and Peter Mohan

Peter and Anna Mohan were a young married couple, excited about their future, when Peter was sent to Iraq with the military. When he returned, he was a different person – emotionally withdrawn, alcoholic, suicidal. He was eventually diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Peter is among an estimated 20 percent of combat veterans expected to develop the debilitating condition.

Judges’ Comments: The couple profiled were powerful characters that brought home the struggles and frustrations of PTSD.
