BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution designating June 27 as National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day.
The resolution was authored by North Dakota Democrat Kent Conrad.
Conrad says the stress of war might create wounds for soldiers that are less visible than others but are no less real. PTSD symptoms include anxiety, anger and depression.
Conrad says more must be done to educate troops, veterans, families and communities about the disorder and the resources and treatments available.
