AI Summary

This resolution designates June 27, 2025, as National PTSD Awareness Day in Michigan, highlighting the significance of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a psychiatric condition affecting millions of Americans, including veterans, first responders, and survivors of trauma. The resolution explains that PTSD can result from experiencing or witnessing traumatic events and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts that can significantly disrupt daily life. While acknowledging the challenging nature of PTSD, the resolution emphasizes that the condition is treatable and that individuals can lead productive lives with proper mental health care. The resolution aims to reduce stigma surrounding PTSD, encourage public understanding, and motivate those suffering to seek help. It references the United States Senate's designation of June 27 as National PTSD Awareness Day in honor of Army Staff Sergeant Joe Biel, who struggled with PTSD, and calls on Michigan residents to learn about the condition, show compassion for those affected, and support services for individuals dealing with PTSD.
