The stress and life difficulties that can come from living with PTSD can place a person at greater risk for turning to drugs or alcohol to numb, repress, or cope. Here is an excellent website that provides up-to-date, accurate, and evidence-based information related to mental health. Feel free to pass this information along with anyone you know who is struggling with PTSD.
