Veterans Disability Lawyer
An underreported problem with female veterans may be PTSD. We see women vets complaining
about PTSD when military sexual trauma is involved. However, we do not
yet see the expected complaints of PTSD that these wars in general cause.
Women vets are leading and driving convoys in the war with no front. They
are exposed to IEDs and random attacks. Researches in California claim
that women may be more susceptible to PTSD. Women may be at greater risk
of developing post-traumatic stress disorder than men because of what
researchers call their “heightened fear response.” Time Magazine recently
posted on this research which includes an interesting video clip. This University of California
San Francisco work is done in conjunction with the VA Medical Center in San Francisco.
