Art Therapy Helps Veterans Deal With PTSD

Using the power of art, these veterans are working through challenges both mental and physical. Navy veteran Iner Joelson told KCCI News in Iowa that carving and painting played a big role in helping him with stress and the pain of recovering from surgery. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, about 7% of veterans have PTSD. That number jumps to 29% for troops who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

I have PTSD from being in Romania thank God I don't remember any of it but from what I've heard from my adopted family it was bad
I was born in Romania and put into one of the worst orphanages you can imagine I was forced bottle fed given shots in my legs to keep me quiet that's where the extreme needle phobia comes from and I was dunked into cold water and not changed
i'm now living in America and love my family but I will have lasting effects from being in Romania I may not remember any of it but from what my family has told me it's been really bad

You know who has the most excruciating PTSD?
GOD
He has seen and felt everything. Literally every dead body he has seen been born.

May God bless veterans . But we're actually lucky because everyday GOD sees something terrible happening. EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Hope these veterans receive the help they need

Imagine the PTSD that civilians feel because of US wars

They act like victims when, in reality, they were the aggressors 😂😂😂.
