Many people live in the shadows, trying to push their traumas aside, but Diagnosis PTSD highlights the struggles we can no longer ignore. PTSD affects not only veterans but also everyday individuals, yet access to proper support and services remains limited. This film serves as a voice for those who are often overlooked, shedding light on an issue that demands attention.

A medal or badge of honor is a great achievement, but how do we address the mental scars left behind? COVID created a new wave of trauma some newly affected, others re-traumatized. People are struggling, whether from military service or personal hardships, often unable to seek help or support each other. The burden of their pain frequently falls on ‘unaffected’ loved ones, and too often, the consequences are devastating.
