Many veterans experience physical injuries after being in active duty but what about those that are struggling with chronic mental health issues as well? Thankfully the VA does recognize mental health conditions as disabling conditions that can be service-connected and assigned compensation for. Conditions such as PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety are not new constructs. These conditions have always been present in some of our veterans but only recently has the VA and general public paid more attention to how our veterans are mentally when returning from active duty. In this section, we discuss the difficulties of veterans with chronic mental health issues. They face feelings of doom, insomnia, panic attacks, hyperawareness, and much, much more. We also discuss how mental health issues could surface as a secondary condition related to a primary physical ailment that is affecting the veteran significantly. Help is here.
