For years, PTSD was known as ‘shell shock,’ primarily associated with military veterans. However, the truth is that anyone can develop PTSD, regardless of their job or lifestyle. First responders, social workers, trauma surgeons, foster children, asylum seekers, refugees, abuse victims, and those with mental health disorders are all at significant risk. According to the National Center for PTSD, 5% of the population will experience PTSD, with women being twice as likely due to exposure to domestic violence and sexual assault. Understanding that PTSD can affect anyone helps us better support those struggling with this condition. 💙 #PTSDawareness #mentalhealthmatters #recoveryjourney #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #PTSDsupport

#NationalPTSDAwarenessDay Each year on June 27, National PTSD Awareness Day recognizes the effects post-traumatic stress has on the lives of those impacted by it. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has a profound effect on the lives of those who suffer from it. The statistics alone are staggering, but can only tell a portion of the story. The trauma and anxiety associated with PTSD is a constant burden, inseparable from the sufferer. It was once a condition that was attributed only to returning combat veterans, but more and more the condition is diagnosed in those who have experienced violent crime or lived through catastrophic events. According to PTSD United, 20% of adults in the United States who have experienced a traumatic event suffer from PTSD.

In our latest article, I emphasize the critical importance of mental health services for veterans suffering from PTSD and highlight the unique challenges that veterans face upon returning home, including PTSD, substance abuse, chronic ailments, and suicide. This article underscores the significance of mental health services in addressing these challenges and providing support for veterans affected by the invisible wounds of war. I draw from a decade of experience in working with senior-aged veterans to shed light on the mental health landscape in the state and the toll these challenges take on military service members, particularly PTSD. I call out for increased resources, funding, and awareness to ensure that all veterans have access to the mental health services they need to heal, recover, and thrive in their post-military lives. I emphasize the duty to advocate for the best mental health support for veterans as a token of gratitude for their service and sacrifice. https://lnkd.in/gbGhUEZf

Even when a soldier has reentered society, the psychological and physical effects of warfare could still be looming.
