As the nation comes together to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the people who have served our country this Veterans Day, it’s crucial to recognize the invisible wounds they carry. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a prevalent and serious condition among veterans, stemming from experiences that may be impossible to comprehend for those outside the military. At Serene Behavioral Health, we emphasize the value of timely PTSD support and treatment, ensuring veterans have access to lifesaving care.

Understanding the Impact: PTSD Among Veterans

Compared to civilians, veterans are 15 times more likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder, five times more vulnerable to depression and almost twice as likely to commit suicide. 

These numbers don’t only reflect temporary struggles; they represent a significant portion of our veteran population living with enduring trauma, injuries and difficulty adjusting to a civilian lifestyle, often leading to challenges in their relationships, careers and health.

The Challenge of Timing and Access

Access to treatment is critical in addressing PTSD and other mental illnesses. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides indispensable services to those who have served our country, but veterans often face long wait times to receive care. This delay can exacerbate your symptoms, making recovery more complex and challenging.

Serene Behavioral Health serves as the mental health arm of Hope by the Sea, a VA Community Care Network provider. If you require intensive mental health care unavailable at a nearby VA facility, you may be eligible to come to our campus.
