Our former patient, Retired Lieutenant Colonel John O'Brien, is now profiled in the "Amazing Things are Happening Here" campaign with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
John was diagnosed with PTSD after serving four tours in the Middle East. Visit the official Amazing Things campaign website here to learn how he overcame stigma, engaged in treatment, and is now able to move forward with his life.
See PATSS clinicians, Dr. JoAnn Difede, Dr. Judith Cukor, and Dr. Megan Olden, as they discuss how behavior changes in individuals living with PTSD, how it affects relationships, and the importance of entering treatment.
