Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect many soldiers in the US Army who have served in combat situations. In fact, The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that at least 1 in 5 female veterans are suffering from symptoms of PTSD while male veterans suffer with post-war PTSD at a rate of about 20%.
However, the percentage of women serving in the military has doubled within the last 30 years and more than 350,000 women are currently serving this country. Since women are exposed to combat more now than ever the rates of PTSD are growing quickly in this demographic, making it difficult for them to readjust back home with their families.
Symptoms of PTSD include:
There is no cure for PTSD, it can only be treated by a mental healthcare professional. The Veterans Health Administration offers many programs to help soldiers, no matter what gender, get help for any symptoms of PTSD they may be experiencing.
If you are a veteran struggling with PTSD or any another mental condition you may be able to file a veterans disability claim to get help. An attorney can help walk you through the process of receiving the rightful benefits you are entitled.
