On Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day, our Nation renews its commitment to assist and care for all those affected by PTSD. As a Nation, we must ensure those suffering from PTSD have access to the resources and support they need...
to fully engage with their families and participate in their communities.

sleep deprivation, and impaired ability to communicate or relate with others. PTSD is a life-threatening condition that can be debilitating to families and relationships, and it affects the ability to fulfill the normal demands of everyday life.
This is just one reason why my Administration has made mental health and wellness a top priority, working to ensure that those with mental health conditions have access to evidence-based treatment and services.
Tragically, many of our veterans suffer from PTSD. Addressing this problem starts with improving treatment. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,

to help ensure that those suffering from PTSD will have the resources they need when they return home from battle.
I also recently signed into law the VA Mission Act, which will improve veterans’ access to quality care by making it easier for them to be treated by the doctors of their choice.
Today, my Administration pledges to continue fighting the stigma associated with mental health. Through enhanced research, greater access to evidence-based treatments, and continued love and support, we can improve the lives of those suffering from PTSD.
