Within the Military and Veteran culture, the stigma of asking for help and support is still strong and it may be difficult to feel connected to people who have no knowledge of the culture and the concept of the positions you were in. We understand the unique values and aspects of this culture, which is vital in providing you superior treatment and support.
Serving in the military, or having a loved one who has served, can expose a person to a wide range of traumatic experiences that can lead to several conditions like:
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-Traumatic Injury
- Substance Abuse
Common signs of these conditions include:
- Depersonalization
- Self-idealizations
- Struggles
- Impulse disorders
- Struggling with an evolving world view
- Strained relationships
- Struggling with life transitions
These conditions are normal reactions to abnormal situations but it is important to know that healing is possible and symptoms can be decreased with the proper support and treatment.
