With PTSD awareness day, here's a few myth busters to improve knowledge about the disorder. Whilst knowing about typical symptoms is more helpful, it's also useful to appreciate that everyone's experience with PTSD may differ in time and presentation.

When ready for treatment, a combination of medication and therapy can be useful. For the latter, the first step is arming you with coping skills. It is well appreciated that trauma work can be very challenging; and this step helps to assist in processing the trauma so that it can be less emotionally-charged.

In case you missed it, there have been some updates that were implemented on May 1, 2026 re: insurance benefits. If you are an IFHP beneficiary (as many Veterans are), you will be required to pay a $4 co-pay on medications (new and refills) and 30% for allied health services.

This can mean one of many possible things for Veterans. For example, it could: result in financial drain as therapy can be pricy (especially if you are being seen on a regular basis); lead to reduced motivation/ momentum around the work you're doing if appointments are spaced out more; feel like another barrier in place to access help; and or prolonged suffering if access to help feels that much further away.

At Valor Care, support through our physicians remain unaffected. You need not worry about financial strain as services are fully covered for assessments which include diagnostic clarification, medication review, and assistance with documentation/ forms.

It is one less thing to have to worry about...

Ever notice how worrying about something feels exhausting at the end of the day?
Have you been trying to manage your blood pressure, but despite all interventions continue to have difficulties?
Is your motivation to do something (like the daily exercise your family physician is constantly encouraging you do participate in) linked to how you feel?

Although it doesn't always intuitively seem connected, our mental health status can affect many physical aspects of our health. From fatigue, body pains, headaches, and ulcers, to blood pressure -- all of these and so much more can be influenced by mental health challenges.

Mental health is just as vital as our physical health; they go hand in hand! Hence, the saying "There is no health, without mental health."

Change is uncomfortable.

All of this happens as a protective mechanism -- our brains teach us that the unknown is scary in comparison to predictable and 'safe' situations. This then instigates fear in response to a perceived threat.

That "fight, flight, freeze" response is common with elevated levels of anxiety.

Thinking about how to get to the desired outcome can be overwhelming and trigger the above response. One way to challenge this is to break down the change into smaller 'chunks' or steps. Achieving smaller steps of the process can motivate you to keep going with a sense of accomplishment.

Mental health has been and continues to be stigmatized. And these longstanding beliefs influence fear to access supportive services.

The hardest thing someone can do is to start.

Valor Care meets you where you're at and caters services to meet your needs, knowing that one of the hardest parts of therapy is to make the first move.

Humans are social creatures; there is an innate drive to connect with another person. Mental health challenges can be a barrier to this and therapy can help to uncover ways to manage difficulties that arise.
