More than three quarters of wounded veterans are dealing with some form of post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the Wounded Warrior Project.

More than 23,000 injured service members completed the 2015 Wounded Warrior Project Alumni Survey. The results were released this week.

In the 15 years since combat operations began in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 52,000 men and women have been physically wounded. But, officials with the Wounded Warrior Project estimated that at least 400,000 of their members are dealing with PTSD with another 320,000 suffering from traumatic brain injury, also known as TBI.
