PTSD is a mental health disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Veterans are particularly susceptible due to the high-stress environments and life-threatening situations they encounter during service. Symptoms of PTSD in veterans may include:
Intrusive Memories: Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety related to the traumatic event.
Avoidance: Steering clear of places, activities, or people that remind them of the trauma.
Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood: Feelings of hopelessness, memory problems, and difficulty maintaining close relationships.
Changes in Physical and Emotional Reactions: Being easily startled, feeling tense, having trouble sleeping, and experiencing angry outbursts.
