CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/OFFICIAL STATEMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Many individuals suffering from PTSD also struggle with depression and substance abuse.

Diagnosis and treatment of this disorder are critical. Unfortunately, far too many Americans suffering from PTSD don’t get the care they need, a problem that has only been exacerbated by the coronavirus. That is one of the reasons why we have increased Medicare telehealth coverage under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, providing those who are suffering from PTSD with expanded access to medical care from the comfort and safety of their own homes.”
