Supporting a family member or loved one in military service can be a challenging and tumultuous experience. While a veteran’s return may bring joy and the opportunity to reclaim lost time, it may also involve facing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychological condition that arises from exposure to traumatic events. Veterans are particularly vulnerable to PTSD due to their experiences in combat and other high-stress situations. As a friend, spouse, or relative of a veteran grappling with PTSD, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about how to provide assistance. Expanding your knowledge about this disorder can empower your family to navigate the often silent and isolating challenges associated with PTSD.
