Mental health providers at the Miami VA Healthcare System are now offering a virtual reality (VR) treatment option for Veterans with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Combining virtual reality with traditional treatments, providers can help veterans change how they perceive and respond to the symptoms of PTSD, which typically cause depression, isolation and anxiety. Read more about virtual reality treatment on VA's VAntage Point Blog. Veterans living with PTSD do not have to suffer alone. Veterans with PTSD can find help and support through the National Center for PTSD and their local VA health care facility.
