I just googled military sexual trauma stats. I have not fact checked this but it seems like a credible source...
According to a report by a VA psychiatrist, "
That is horrible... I didn't know it was so bad... Breaks my heart.
Do whatever you need to do to heal. If creating a subforum helps you and helps gives others a voice - please do it.
Thanks,

There are not enough people for a subforum. It is just that the VA knows that mst ptsd survivors are triggered by the va and combat veterans, which is why combat ptsd is not always safe for mst ptsd. General ptsd forum works best for this venue, but in the world, when i am acknowledged as a vet with ptsd, the first thing everyone thinks is combat ptsd. I never served in combat. To show more presence of having mst ptsd next to combat ptsd would help the masses realize that veterans can experience one or both forms of ptsd... And that mst ptsd may be as prevalent as combat ptsd. 25 to 50 percent of women and 10 to 15 percent of men report mst. Not all have ptsd, but that is how many are victimized.
