Here’s just a couple citations about the relationship between firefighters and PTSD:
“Given that traumatic exposure is common among firefighters, it is not surprising that high rates of PTSD have been found. Studies have found that anywhere between approximately 7 percent and 37 percent of firefighters meet the criteria for a current diagnosis of PTSD.” – Verywell Mind
“Individuals experiencing PTSD symptoms often experience interpersonal problems and relationship stress, and this may be due to emotion regulation difficulties.” – Anka Vujanovic, UH First Responder Program / Trauma & Stress Studies Center / Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma
“Approximately 20 percent of fire fighters and paramedics meet criteria for PTSD at some point during their career. This compares to a 6.8 percent lifetime risk for the general population. The connection between PTSD and traumatizing rescue work is clear.” – iaffrecoverycenter.com
