Dragon's Current: The Storm that Stayed Inside

By Brad Pietzyk

Dragon's Current is not a war memoir. It's the story of what came after - and what stayed.

Brad Pietzyk served fifteen years in the U.S. Army, moving across the globe while carrying something he couldn't name. The current inside him - electric, relentless - would eventually be diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder. It ended his career, but not his search for understanding.

This memoir traces the slow fracturing of identity, the confusion of undiagnosed symptoms, and the quiet devastation of trying to hold a life together while everything internal shifts. With clarity and unflinching honesty, Pietzyk examines the forces that shaped him, the systems that failed him, and the long work of learning to live with a mind that doesn't always cooperate.

Dragon's Current is a story of survival, mental health, and the storm that stayed inside - a raw, reflective journey through diagnosis, trauma, and the difficult work of rebuilding a life.
