Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Among Veterans

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that manifests in individuals who have undergone traumatic experiences. This disorder, which affects approximately 7% of Americans, is considered a natural response to events such as sexual abuse, physical assault, violence, or serious accidents.

While PTSD impacts around eight million adults, one group is particularly vulnerable to its effects: American veterans. Veterans often witness injuries, death, and other life-threatening events during wartime and non-combat situations. Unfortunately, due to the severity of the trauma endured, PTSD can persist throughout veterans’ lifetimes.
