The Invisible Wounds of War

"The Invisible Wounds of War" refer to psychological and emotional injuries suffered by military personnel after combat. These include conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety, which aren't visible like physical injuries but significantly impact lives. Such wounds can cause nightmares, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, and struggles with daily functioning. Recognizing these injuries is crucial, as they require specialized support and treatment. They remind us that the true cost of war extends beyond visible scars, affecting mental health and well-being long after returning home.
