SAN ANTONIO – Understanding post-traumatic distress disorder (PTSD) and its causes, reactions and treatments can not only vary from person to person but also through time.
Finding a path to recovery also means understanding the obstacles that can get in the way of healing. Those obstacles can differ for people of different races and cultures.
Last October, UT Health San Antonio held its ninth annual Combat PTSD Conference at the Briscoe Western Art Museum in downtown San Antonio. The conference featured speakers on diverse topics in military psychological health.
The conference drew an audience of nearly 400 participants from the military, Veterans Affairs and academia.
