Governor Dennis Daugaard has proclaimed Monday, June 27, as "Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day.” He wants South Dakota residents to consider causes and treatments of injuries and conditions that come after stressful events.
Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries are more commonly known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders. While such conditions can happen to anyone who has gone through a difficult period, Veterans Administration psychologist, Doctor Kyle Lythgoe, says many military members have trouble asking for outside help, even if they really need it.
