Studies show alarming increase in PTSD among first responders

From KSBY:

Studies show that the number of first responders dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, one in three first responders develop PTSD.

A recent study from the American Hospital Association shows there's been a rise in mental health disorders among first responders. However, only 13% of front-line health care workers say they've received behavioral health services.
