Honoring Our Veterans
Today, we honor our veterans — the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. On the 11th day of the 11th month, we take a collective pause to reflect on the great debt we owe our veterans. And one of the most important things we owe them, and must give in whatever way we can, is our help with the difficult transition back to civilian life.Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are common in those who have served in combat. These can include anxiety, sleep disturbances, flashbacks, feelings of helplessness and detachment, hypervigilance, anger, and many more.
And for those who have been in proximity to an explosion, the sound wave can cause a blast injury, which can lead to symptoms of Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS). These can include dizziness, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, explosive temper, fearfulness, disorientation, poor judgment, and many more.
The good news is, there is help and hope. Many different kinds of treatment are available for both of these conditions, and it is never too late to seek help.
Call Dr. Diane at 800-500-9971 to schedule a consult. If you call today, on Veterans’ Day, you will also receive a free copy of Dr. Diane’s book, Coping With Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
There is a Way!™
