Included in the Ohio Senate’s biennial budget are measures aimed at helping veterans combat PTSD and related veteran issues.
Sen. Frank Hoagland’s proposal would provide $12 million for a treatment program for veterans afflicted with post-traumatic stress disorder. It will also expand this same program to include law enforcement and other first responders suffering from it, according to information from Hoagland, R-Mingo Junction.
The Ohio Veterans Drug and TMS Treatment project already is helping veterans across the state. TMS is transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is a kind of treatment for depression. The goal is to treat veterans who have mental health issues, addiction problems or both.
