According to the National Center for PTSD, seven out of 100 veterans experience #PTSD in their lifetime. Depending on their era of service, the number of veterans who had PTSD in their lifetime could be as high as 29%. (bit.ly/4fA1cnY) This #VeteransDay, we honor the service and sacrifice of each and every Veteran at home and abroad. We will continue to work tirelessly to bring new, innovative treatments for them and for every American struggling with PTSD.?
