"Today is Women Veterans Day. A day that we observe and honor the women that served in the Armed Forces. June 12th, 1948, is the day that President Truman signed the “Women’s Armed Services Integration Act” into law allowing women to become permanent and regular members of the Armed Forces. Before the 1948, women were not allowed to become regular members of the Armed Forces, but they did serve in support roles during WWII. After the war they were told to go home and that their services were no longer needed. Although Women Veterans Day is recognized nationally, on June 9, 2017, Gov. Abbott signed into Texas state law designating June 12th as Women Veterans Day.

Let’s give a shout out to our Women Veterans!"

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? (PTSD)

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events, such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults.

Traumatic events that threaten personal safety may result in:

*Fear
*Re-experience (e.g., dreams)
*Sense of reliving the event
*Distress or react to cues
*Avoidance: thoughts, activities
*Numbing feelings
*Diminished interest
*Unable to recall important parts of the event
*Feeling detached
*Can’t (e.g. love)
*Sense no future
*Sleep problems
*Irritability or angry outbursts
*Difficulty concentrating
*Hyper vigilance
*Exaggerated startle response

Mental illness is now officially the leading cause of disability worldwide.

With more than one in seven people globally living with a mental disorder, mental illness has officially become the world's leading cause of disability.

A comprehensive new analysis published in The Lancet has delivered a sobering milestone: mental illness is now the primary driver of disability worldwide. According to the Global Burden of Disease 2023 study, more than 1.17 billion people—roughly one in seven people on Earth—were living with a mental health condition in 2023. Since 1990, the global burden of these disorders has surged by a staggering 95.5%. Even after adjusting for population growth and aging, the rise remains sharp across nearly every region of the globe. Anxiety and major depression are leading this quiet epidemic, which erodes quality of life over years and decades rather than claiming lives immediately.

The crisis is hitting vulnerable groups the hardest, with the burden peaking among teenagers aged 15 to 19—a critical phase of neurological development. Women are also disproportionately affected due to a complex web of biological, social, and economic pressures. Far from being a luxury problem of wealthy nations, the rise in mental disorders is a global phenomenon fueled by social isolation, economic insecurity, pandemic aftereffects, and modern stressors. As health systems struggle to expand services proportionally, researchers warn that society can no longer ignore the immense toll of these non-fatal but deeply debilitating conditions.
