Many thanks to IDF Mental Health Officer, Maj. (res.) Dror Gavish, for making time out of his busy schedule to discuss coping with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in wartime - in realtime, both on and off the battlefield.
Dror is a social worker, who - along with his family - are themselves evacuees from Kibbutz HaGoshrim, located along the explosive border with Lebanon, facing Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists.
