Captain Krankypants, as his alter ego Trace Dann (www.tracedann.com) is taking his highly popular Blog on the road  – well not the Blog itself, but the subject of the Blog – “Living with PTSD and Depressive Disorder”.

Delivered as a keynote address, the events are more than just a talk – they are 90-minute entertainment events based around a serious subject. They are designed for anyone dealing with the disorders themselves and for families and friends of people with the disorders – to help them all understand what is going on inside the heads of their loved one.

Trace is not a mental heath professional, nor does he have any medical qualifications, he is a guy who has forged a successful life despite living with the disorders gained during war service for the Australian Army. He talks about how he was like a swan floating majestically down a river while underneath the surface he was paddling like crazy against the tide of self-doubt, numbed emotions, hyper-alertness, guilt, frustration and many other negative thought.
