The Boston Globe (6/11, Brown) reports on “late-onset post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).” Researchers “are finding that the passage of time does not always diminish traumatic symptoms, and in fact, the physical, mental, and social changes that come with age can aggravate them.” The article focuses on Holocaust survivors. “Many Holocaust experts say the problem is surfacing now, in part, because few survivors got psychiatric help early on.”
