Away from the bright lights of her job, television host Vanja Semic says her ex-husband battled PTSD, and she struggles with depression.

VANJA SEMIC 41, TV HOST: We are surrounded by people with huge psychological problems that are not being treated effectively. They in turn are creating more problems for the people around them.
