Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine veteran who is running for president, will introduce a plan to expand military mental health services
Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine veteran who is running for president, will introduce a plan Tuesday evening to expand military mental health services and will disclose that he sought treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder after his combat deployments during the Iraq War.
“I got to the point where these experiences weren’t haunting me every day,” he said. “They’ll always be there and there will always be regrets that I have, but I got to a point where I could deal with them and manage them. It’s been a few years now since I’ve woken up in a cold sweat in bed from a bad dream or felt so withdrawn from my friends or whatever that I would just go home and go to bed because I miss being overseas with the Marines.
Moulton said he continues to see a therapist at least once a month “just to check in the same way that I go to the doctor for a checkup even when I’m not sick, just because I think it’s healthy.”
