Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition that manifests in individuals who have undergone traumatic events. This condition, affecting approximately 7% of Americans, is a natural response to experiences like sexual abuse, physical assault, violence, or severe accidents.
While around eight million adults grapple with PTSD, one specific group faces a disproportionate impact — American veterans. The nature of their experiences, including witnessing injuries, death, and life-threatening events in both combat and noncombat situations, often leads to enduring effects. Unfortunately, PTSD can persist throughout the lifetimes of veterans. Explore our resource for additional statistics, symptoms, and information regarding PTSD.
