This National PTSD Awareness Day serves as a reminder that not all wounds are visible. Millions of Americans live with PTSD, and more can be done to support them by increasing awareness and understanding of this condition.

"Getting better means different things for different people," but various treatment options are available for those living with PTSD. Further information on PTSD treatment can be found at the National Center for PTSD's website.

Efforts to help individuals living with PTSD should focus on providing necessary resources to aid in their recovery and mental health. Additional resources for veterans are available at: https://repcoffey.com/resources-for-veterans/
