Understanding the Challenges Veterans Face
Veterans often experience distinct mental health and substance use challenges due to their service-related experiences. Many struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders (SUDs) as they transition back to civilian life.
Common Challenges Among Veterans:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety stemming from combat or traumatic experiences.
Substance Use & Addiction – High rates of alcohol and drug misuse as coping mechanisms.
Depression & Anxiety – Emotional struggles related to service experiences and transition difficulties.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Cognitive and emotional impairments due to physical injuries.
Difficulty Adjusting to Civilian Life – Struggles with employment, relationships, and social reintegration.
