Petition Allow more funding for Ex-Military and Ex-Service personnel suffering with PTSD.
It is far too common for our Ex- Service and Ex-Military personnel to be suffering with PTSD. People who suffer from PTSD often suffer from nightmares, flashbacks, difficulty sleeping, and feeling emotionally numb. These symptoms can significantly impair a person's daily life.

Why should the people who fought so hard for our lives be the ones left to suffer?
PTSD is marked by clear physical and psychological symptoms. It often has symptoms like depression, substance abuse, problems of memory and cognition, and other physical and mental health problems. The disorder is also associated with difficulties in social or family life, including occupational instability, marital problems, family discord, and difficulties in parenting.
