Many U.S. military veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress and debilitating brain injuries, which traditional medications have largely failed to cure. Some are turning to #psychedelics in Mexico for PTSD treatment. Non-profit organization VETS, Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, funds grants for veterans to go to Mexico for treatment that isn't legal in the United States.

As we approach Veterans Day we are reminded how members of the United States military sacrifice their wellbeing to protect people's lives around the world. Among the risks military members face is PTSD, a mental health condition that statistically affects a large portion of America’s military members. Some common symptoms of PTSD for military members and veterans include: - Reliving the event - Staying away from people, places or things related to the event - Problematic feelings and beliefs about the event - Feeling on-edge or keyed up Want to learn more about PTSD in military populations?

The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging for veterans, often leading to a loss of identity and community. This, coupled with trauma, can result in isolation and vulnerability. Extremist groups exploit this, targeting veterans with offers of false belonging and purpose. Understanding the history and tactics of these groups is crucial. Training & awareness, strengthened mental health support, & proactive efforts by the military to root out extremism in the ranks are key to combating this threat. Let's work together to protect our veterans from the lure of extremism. #combatextremism #veteransagainstextremism #strongertogether #protectourveterans #unitedagainstextremism

Today is PTSD Awareness Day. Military personnel face unique traumatic experiences, including war zone deployments, training accidents, and military sexual trauma (MST), which can all lead to PTSD. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD, 29% of Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Enduring Freedom (OEF) veterans experience PTSD at some point in their life. Research shows that among Veterans, those who deploy are more likely to develop #PTSD than those who do not. Due to the frequency and duration of deployments, combined with the intense experiences faced in combat, Special Operations Forces service members are at an even greater risk. Operation Healing Forces stands by our nation's Special Operations Forces, providing essential support and resources to our heroes battling PTSD. #OHF #PTSDAwarenessDay #CreatingBondsThatCure #PTSDsupport

What does PTSD recovery actually mean? It means having peace in your heart and mind, where now there is some measure of pressured thinking and turmoil. It means noticing the beauty around you, where now you worry about danger around every corner. • • #healingjourney #ptsdsupport #ptsdawareness #recovery #veterans #military #mentalhealthsupport #therapistsofig

When the day comes that the Military pays as much attention to Mental Health as it does to Physical Health, we will no longer have to read statistics like: 4 Suicides to every 1 Combat Death When you Host A Screening Event (in person or virtual,) you become a major factor in bringing about a Mental Health Corps in the Military. Just as our country needs the Men and Women who serve in our Military, they need US to take a stand for them. www.strangerathome.org #military #militarytransition #militaryfamilies #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthwarrior #wellness #wellnesswarrior #suicideprevention

Great read: “Beyond war and PTSD: The crucial role of transition stress in the lives of military veterans”. By Meaghan C Mobbs, G. Bonanno #WorthToRead #LecturaRecomendada Although only a relatively small minority of military veterans develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), mental health theory and research with military veterans has focused primarily on #PTSD and its treatment. By contrast, many and by some accounts most veterans experience high levels of stress during the transition to civilian life, however transition stress has received scant attention. The article attempts to address this deficit by reviewing a wider range of challenges, rewards, successes, and failures that transitioning veterans might experience, as well as the factors that might moderate these experiences. To illuminate this argument, we briefly consider what it means to become a soldier (i.e., what is required to transition into military service) and more crucially what kind of stressors veterans might experience when they attempt to shed that identity (i.e., what is required to transition out of military service). We end by suggesting how an expanded research program on veteran transition stress might move forward. #PTSD #Stress #Transition #Veteran #War
