Armed Forces veterans suffering from PTSD

For many soldiers, the battlefield does not end when the uniform comes off. The transition from combat to civilian life can be filled with unseen wounds — memories, emotions, and physiological reactions that linger long after the physical danger has passed. Post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most significant mental‑health challenges faced by armed‑forces veterans and active‑duty soldiers, yet it often remains misunderstood or hidden behind silence and stigma.
