Thank you so much for this episode. It is personal to me as a Black Veteran diagnosed with PTSD and MDD. Blessings to the two of you, and thank you for this conversation because my PTSD is from childhood and worsened while on active duty. So many believe PTSD is only associated with military personnel, but it isn’t. It affects so many people in non-service connected environments. Have a Blessed Day
