Who is at risk?
How common is PTSD?
How do I know if I have PTSD?

Educate yourself.  Read the information on this website and use the self-assessment tools that are available for you.  Are you bothered by an event in which you thought you or someone you cared about would be killed or seriously injured?  Do you feel haunted by it? If you realize that you have several of the symptoms associated with PTSD, we encourage you to seek help.  A healthcare professional will be able to talk with you in more detail about your symptoms and help you determine if you have PTSD.  They will also help you decide on a treatment option that may be most effective for you.  Many people hope that the problems they are having will go away on their own, but once PTSD develops, it is unlikely to go away without treatment.

Am I weak for not being able to just “deal with it”?
How does PTSD affect my family?
What are the best treatment options for PTSD?
Are other conditions associated with PTSD?
How can I get help near me?

We’re here for you.

Do you need care?

Today, there are effective treatments for deployment- or combat-related stress and adjustment problems. How do you know if you need care?  Are you bothered by an event in the past in which you thought you could be killed or seriously injured? Are you having ongoing problems with any of the following:

  • Reoccurring memories or thoughts of the event
  • Difficulty sleeping or nightmares
  • Poor concentration or memory
  • Depression, anxiety or irritability
  • Avoiding thinking about the event or avoiding activities, places, or people that remind you of it
  • Being more easily startled or feel like always on alert
  • Difficulty maintaining close relationships
  • Self destructive behavior, such as drinking too much
  • Emotionally numb

If so, you may be showing signs of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
