Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 6 out of every 100 people in the United States, according to the National Center for PTSD. PTSD can impact a person’s ability to work, perform daily activities, and maintain relationships with family and friends. For #PTSDAwareness Month, our therapist from the Behavioral Health Center at Mount Sinai, Erika Smith, discusses how PTSD affects our community and the services our medical center offers to those struggling with their mental health. In conjunction with #MensMentalHealthAwarenessMonth, she also emphasizes the importance for men to prioritize both their physical and mental health. #PTSDAwareness #PTSD #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth #MensHealth #MensHealthMonth
