With Veterans Day coming up, this episode seeks to break down some of the unique mental health struggles our military servicemembers (past and present) may face. Hampton Roads is a highly populated military area, but no matter where you live, there's a good chance you know someone who is active duty military or a veteran. Listen in to Living Freely Podcast today as Rachel Ann Dine, LPC talks about military and mental health, discusses reintegration after deployment, and explores in depth what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is and how a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can affect someone's personality. As always, Rachel Ann also provides a range of resources for receiving mental health services if you or someone you know is needing assistance with their own mental health. Be empowered to know you are not alone if you are a veteran or active duty service member who is struggling with their mental health. We thank you for your service and hope this episode helps to empower you and your loved one's to reach out to one of the resources (linked below) for additional care. Happy Veterans Day!
