First-hand accounts from those suffering PTSD and from those living and working with those suffering PTSD will help others understand this illness. We hope that you will share your experiences with us and through the FactsForHealth.org® web site with people around the world. Your statement — or excerpts from it — may be posted on our web site.

All statements listed will be anonymous, but we ask that you provide a location (city/state/country). By giving locations with the testimonials, it will become apparent that individuals suffering with this disorder live around the world and that there are no geographic boundaries for PTSD.

In emailing your statement, you are giving the Madison Institute of Medicine® permission to use your statement or excerpts from your statement on this web site, www.ptsd.factsforhealth.org

This web site has extensive information on PTSD and we hope you will continue reading. If you have questions specific to your diagnosis or treatment, you should contact your doctor. If you do not have a doctor, our clinician database may help you locate one.
