The PTSD crisis

The PTSD crisis refers to the growing number of individuals experiencing severe, long-lasting distress after traumatic events, such as combat, accidents, or violence. Many struggle with symptoms like intrusive memories, hyperarousal, and emotional numbness, which can impair daily functioning. Despite increased awareness, access to effective treatment remains limited for some, leading to widespread suffering. The crisis highlights the need for better mental health support, early intervention, and comprehensive resources to help those affected recover and regain stability.
