Veterans and Counseling for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

PTSD

 

 

With over three years of experience in the healthcare recruiting industry, Joshua William Shuman, PsyD, provided screening for applicants and handled student job offers. As a former psychologist at Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Ohio, Joshua W. Shuman provided psychological care to veterans. Additionally, Josh Shuman provided psychological services to veterans’ families.

Although veterans may suffer from psychological issues not related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the major reason veterans seek counseling is due to PTSD. According to a 2014 study, approximately 20 percent of Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans experience PTSD, and many also suffer from depression.

Counseling can assist veterans with their PTSD. Additionally, families of veterans are also covered by the Veterans Administration and may benefit from counseling services. While feelings of sadness can disappear when their loved one comes back home from active duty, the moment they leave again depression, sadness, and other feelings often return.

Although these services are available to veterans and their families, studies show that approximately 60 percent of service personnel with a mental health concern do not get professional care, and 70 percent of veterans who live with PTSD do not seek help.
