PTSD Awareness Month: Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone. About 1 out of every 20 adults in the U.S. (or 5% of Americans) has PTSD in any given year. Even though PTSD treatments work, most people who have PTSD don't get the help they need. Everyone with PTSD—whether they are Veterans or civilians who experienced sexual violence, a serious accident, a disaster event, or other traumatic event—needs to know that effective treatments can reduce symptoms and lead to a better quality of life. Please visit https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/awareness/index.asp for more info.
