On Saturday, Nov. 11, America will be observing Veterans Day to honor those who served our country in war or peace, and recognize and honor them for their sacrifices that ensured the protection of our freedoms.
To overcome the paralysis of your present, you must decide to get up from the place of your paralysis, get out of the place of your paralysis, and decide to get to the place of your freedom, blessing, healing and deliverance.
PASADENA, Calif.— June 24, 2020—This Saturday, June 27, we observe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day, and June is also PTSD Awareness Month. According to the American Psychiatric Association, PTSD affects approximately 3.5-percent of U.S. adults, and an estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD.
While many believe the mental health disorder only affects military veterans, many Americans who are not veterans of war also experience nightmares or flashbacks caused by PTSD. Those people often relive traumatic events – such as major accidents, sexual assault or witnessing trauma – which become seared in their memories and can negatively affect their mental health.
