Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 6 out of every 100 people in the United States, according to the National Center for PTSD. PTSD can impact a person’s ability to work, perform daily activities, and maintain relationships with family and friends. For #PTSDAwareness Month, our therapist from the Behavioral Health Center at Mount Sinai, Erika Smith, discusses how PTSD affects our community and the services our medical center offers to those struggling with their mental health. In conjunction with #MensMentalHealthAwarenessMonth, she also emphasizes the importance for men to prioritize both their physical and mental health. #PTSDAwareness #PTSD #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth #MensHealth #MensHealthMonth

This statement is particularly relevant in the context of those who suffer from PTSD, as it underscores the importance of empathy and support for individuals who have experienced trauma. PTSD can significantly impact a person's behavior and mental health, often leading to actions or reactions that they might not exhibit if they were not suffering from the disorder. Holding someone's past against them, especially when it involves trauma-related responses, can hinder their healing process and personal growth. When individuals with PTSD make efforts to heal and transform, it is crucial to recognize and support their journey. Allowing them to show up as the person they are striving to become means acknowledging their resilience and the hard work they are putting into overcoming their challenges. This approach not only fosters a more supportive environment for their recovery but also encourages a culture of understanding and compassion. By focusing on who they are becoming rather than who they were, we can help create a space where healing and growth are possible. #ptsdawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #ptsd #sexualtrauma
