Many veterans struggle with mental health conditions that began during their time in uniform but were never formally diagnosed while they were serving. In this episode, we explore how those experiences are recognized and understood by the VA — even without an in-service diagnosis on record.

We’ll talk about how symptoms, service experiences, and post-service medical evidence can help paint a clear picture of what you’ve been through, and why it’s important to share your story in a way that connects your military experience to your current mental health.
