Veterans experience traumas like combat, accidents, and even sexual assault, at a higher rate than civilians. This can lead to PTSD, affecting 7% of veterans compared to 6% in the general population. Women veterans (13%) are particularly impacted. Importantly, research is ongoing to understand how PTSD affects all veterans, including LGBTQ+, minorities, and transgender/non-binary individuals, as social factors can influence PTSD risk.

Many veterans struggle with PTSD, with rates ranging from 11% to a staggering 30% depending on the war they served in. However, despite the significant impact PTSD has on jobs, relationships, and overall health, only 8% of veterans seek help. A VA study shed light on this gap. Veterans who believe they need treatment and have access to specialists are more likely to get it. The importance of social support also emerged – "Veterans often struggle alone," says Dr. Spoont. Encouraging veterans to seek help and ensuring access to specialists are key to overcoming this gap and supporting our veterans' well-being.
