The connection between acute stress disorder and 9/11

Acute stress disorder (ASD) is a mental health condition that many of the 9/11 victims share. ASD usually manifests in individuals a month after they have experienced an emotionally scarring and traumatic event. Those who witnessed the fall of the Twin Towers may experience significant psychological distress that can impact their day-to-day lives.

Living with ASD can be incredibly difficult. This mental health condition can affect both a person's personal and professional life. If your ASD diagnosis is connected to 9/11, know that you may benefit from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

Benefit from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
