Understanding Operational Stress Injury (OSI) & Moral Injury
Operational Stress Injury (OSI): OSI encompasses any persistent psychological difficulty that arises from operational duties. This includes a range of conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), various anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use disorders. OSIs are often the result of exposure to traumatic events, intensely stressful situations, or prolonged periods of operational stress inherent in certain professions.
Moral Injury: Moral Injury is a distinct form of distress that occurs when individuals are involved in, witness, or fail to prevent actions that deeply violate their own moral or ethical code. This can lead to profound emotional and psychological anguish, with symptoms that may include intense feelings of shame, overwhelming guilt, a sense of betrayal, and significant impacts on daily functioning and interpersonal relationships.

This detailed assessment is crucial for developing a highly personalized and effective treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
