PTSD Awareness Month • 2026

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month is observed annually in June.

Veterans with PTSD are more likely to experience cognitive impairments than those without PTSD, studies consistently demonstrate. These impairments can often go unrecognized and be put off as common, everyday difficulties in concentration, memory recall, and decision-making. Veterans may face additional challenges in maintaining effective work and social relationships due to their symptoms.
