do you think treatment can help me?
Whether you just returned from a deployment or have been home for some years, it is never too late to get help for posttraumatic stress disorder. Counseling or treatment can help you manage your symptoms and keep them from getting worse.

but I don't think there are VA places near me to help so where can I get help?
If you don't live near a VA medical center or clinic we can refer you to a Vet Center or health care provider near you.  Or, you can get counseling over the phone through telemental health care.
