June is #PTSD Awareness Month.

We want to encourage everyone to spread the word and raise awareness of PTSD and its effective treatments.

PTSD Basics

After a trauma or life-threatening event, it is common to have reactions such as upsetting memories of the event, increased jumpiness, or trouble sleeping. If these reactions do not go away or if they get worse, you may have Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
