For Those who may be suffering from PTSD

A pen writing 'Thank You' on textured paper.

Until a solution for war can be found, often survivors will need treatment for the life altering trauma they may have suffered. If you are a  veteran, or know of a veteran that may be exhibiting PTSD symptoms, please check out this website:

                                                                          http://www.ptsd.va.gov/  


The "self-help" section of this website may seem patronizing, but it gives advice on how to live with stress. If you are coping with PTSD you may be physically healthy but not necessarily mentally well. Further stressors can trigger unwanted actions. Do not stop with the self-help section but obtain a medical opinion,


Caring for war related PTSD often involves life-long treatment for which there is little funding. Current recommended treatment uses psychotherapy and/or antidepressants. Some studies of PTSD offer virtual reality reenactments to help work through the cause.

The Veterans service organizations may also be helpful and can be found at this website;

I am sorry  that there are wars but sincerely thank you, our Veterans, for being there for us.
