Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects nearly one in three veterans, significantly higher than the general adult population. While traditional treatments like therapy and medication are beneficial, daily accessible strategies are also crucial for symptom management. Mike Kogan, a mental health expert, suggests relaxation techniques, including deep breathing and mindfulness, which can be integrated into daily life to improve emotional regulation. These practices, along with the importance of connections through nature and peer support, foster resilience and a renewed sense of purpose for veterans.
Prioritizing mental well-being helps veterans reduce PTSD symptoms and improve daily functioning. Small, consistent habits like movement, mindfulness, and rest promote resilience and emotional stability.
Connection through nature and peer support strengthens recovery and restores a sense of purpose. Research shows that consistent use of relaxation techniques can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms.
