Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) impacts 7% of veterans. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports approximately 17 million veterans residing in the United States, indicating that over 1 million veterans live with PTSD. This significant figure underscores the potential underdiagnosis of PTSD in military contexts, attributed to scarce mental health resources. Addressing the needs of this substantial group requires the expertise of behavioral and mental health professionals. Our goal is to provide you with the necessary knowledge to effectively perform PTSD screenings for veterans.
