WASHINGTON - Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) now have a new mobile resource to help combat the disorders’ many challenges.
The Departments of Defense (DOD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) have jointly developed the “ PTSD Coach ,” a free smartphone application to help those with PTSD.
It allows users to track and manage symptoms, find support and get reliable information about PTSD. The app can also bring up personal photos or play music during times of distress.
Dr. Sonja Batten, of the Department of Veterans Affairs, says the app was specifically developed with veterans in mind.
