Continued PTSD in women exposed to deep water horizon oil spill
A study reports that women exposed to the 2010 Deep water Horizon (BP) Oil Spill continue to experience symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Less than half reported receiving past-year mental health treatment despite the high levels of PTSD symptoms, which suggests that many affected women may not be receiving needed mental health care.
