U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius released a statement recognizing June as PTSD month. PTSD is an anxiety disorder that some people develop after going through a traumatic event. Under the [Affordable Care Act][1], HHS is partnering with the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense on ways to improve health care for Veterans and all Americans. For help with PTSD, talk with a VA counselor at **1-800-273-8255** (press "1"), or visit [VA Chat][2].
