According to a story released by CNN on December 13,
there are more cases of women diagnosed with and suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) than at any other time of our nation’s military
history.
The reason for this sharp increase is simple: there are more women in combat today than ever before.

The United States Committee on Veterans Affairs is launching an investigation into the Department of Veterans Affairs in regards to claims of
inadequate staffing, long lines for mental health care and whether VA employees work to reach numbers rather than focusing on providing necessary
mental health care.
U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Chair of the committee, charged George J. Opfer, Inspector General of the VA, to take a considered and serious look into the allegations
brought forth before the panel.
