(Reuters) - Freed U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl needs time to decompress, his father said on Sunday, predicting that recovering from nearly five years of captivity in Afghanistan will be like a diver who has to return to the surface slowly.

Army Sergeant Bergdahl was released on Saturday in an exchange deal in which five Taliban prisoners were freed from Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba and flown to Qatar.
