People across the country and right here in East Tennessee are working to bring awareness to a disorder that impacts millions of Americans. Thursday is National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that impacts people who have experienced psychological trauma.
Veterans can often experience PTSD, but anyone who experiences trauma can develop the disorder. Psychologists say it's important to reach out for help.
Dr. John Kupfner joined us in the 10News studio to explain more about PTSD. He's a psychiatrist with Peninsula Outpatient Services. You can watch that entire conversation in the video above.
