Retired Green Beret uses theater to cope with the trauma of war

We are dedicating most of our broadcast next Wednesday to a live special focusing on mental health. It's called "Stop the Stigma: A Conversation About Mental Health." We want to remove the shame and blame from the discussion around mental illness diagnoses. As part of our commitment to tackling issues surrounding mental health, we're looking at post traumatic stress. About eight million adults experience it during any given year. David Begnaud reports on a play written and performed by military veterans.
