One of the most stressful parts about being a veteran is the anxiety that comes with it. The war has ended, but the mental toll can still be felt as veterans struggle to come to terms with their experiences during battle. It’s not uncommon for veterans to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression when returning from combat. While there are many ways to help your veteran patients cope with PTSD, you may need to take more time and effort than usual to make things feel less overwhelming. Here are some tips on how you can calm down your veteran patients:

Show your compassion with virtual reality.

Virtual reality is an excellent way to help veterans suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. In addition, VR can help people feel less alone in their struggles because it allows them to be in a place that feels like home and where they feel comfortable.

Virtual reality has been shown to have positive effects on brain function and mental health outcomes in both clinical (in-person) and non-clinical populations; however, there are still limitations with this technology, such as high costs of equipment needed for use or limited access due to geographical location.

A little music therapy does wonders.

Music therapy is a great way to help reduce stress and anxiety, especially if you assist the patient. It can also be used with psychotherapy or medications to treat depression and other health issues.

Everyone can enjoy music, so it’s a good choice for veterans who need it and for anyone who wants some time away from their everyday life. The benefits of music therapy are tremendous: it helps people relax, relieve pain and discomfort (from physical injuries), improves sleeping patterns, and even decreases blood pressure levels!

Music therapy has been shown to improve social relationships and increase self-esteem among patients with mental illness or brain damage due to stroke or other conditions.

And also…

The best way to calm veterans is by having them talk with a health professional. Doctors and nurses are trained in how to help veterans, but they can also refer you to other services that may be able to help you as well.

There is a lot of support for veterans; we have to take care of them. They deserve our respect and compassion, so let’s be there for them when they need us. There are many ways to help veterans, but you must find the best one!

We need to ensure veterans are being cared for and have the resources they need. So if you know someone who has been through military service, show them how much you care by sending them a gift or listening to them when they need it.
