Haunted with fear..obsession

Hi everybody, here is the story,

My brother in law who is nearly 20 now has the problem. He wasn't that

clever at school, so he decided to join the army. That was ofcourse after

finishing high scool. What I knew about him that he has one close friend (

neighbour). What he usually does in his life ( during school time ) coming

back home, going for a football, hanging with his only friend, That's it.


The boy had to join the army ( he like that,and he is strong and healthy),

he doesn't have any problems regarding their drills or tasks. But, in his

first days at the army has this feeling maybe fear mixed with obsessin.

He wants to go home , miss being at home very much that he cries. We

had a hard time being with him, talk with him about being patient, looking

to his futur and career. Despite every attempt from everyone around

hime, nothing new. His parents even visited him their many time. We

took to phsychiatrist ( shrink ) , but nothing change.


After those terrible days and night, and after finishing the training time at

the army and settling in his new job, boy came normal. Every fear and

obsession gone, and everyone was happy that he is back.



Recently, his uncle died and he wached the corpse actually. Now, my wife

talked to me last night tha the same old problem came back to her

brother, a long with nightmares.


The boy is embarrassed to talk about his problem renewal . He only

spoke to my wife, and asked her to talk to me.

I don't know what to do .

Anybody with any thoughts, or ideas, Thanks.
