If you're a Veteran out there who has PTSD
or think you might have PTSD
and wonders what you should be doing,
I would say the first thing to do is educate yourself.
Start the process of seeking help.
PTSD is a disorder that is very treatable.
It doesn't feel like that at the beginning, and in fact,
you might not even know what's going on.
But PTSD is a very, very treatable disorder,
and one of the things I love about my job as someone
who treats PTSD is that I know chances are
I'm going to be effective.
So when somebody comes in to ask for help or needs help,
I know that because I do Prolonged Exposure therapy,
that I'll likely be able to help them.
And so, in a pretty short time,
if you have PTSD, you could be better.
I know that it doesn't feel like that, but when people
come in to see me, I know that the chances are
I'm going to really be able to help them, and I like that.
