Not sure if this is off-topic... but I think anything that helps to end the stigma of mental illness/PTSD benefits all of us (my anxiety is PTSD-related). Starbucks CEO is donating $30 million for PTSD and brain injury research for veterans!

I always thought Starbucks wouldn't do anything for Vets because they didn't support the war??

The CEO said something about how we're good at sending people to war, but not so good about helping them when they come back... So it's a bit political, but PTSD is a major issue for these vets, and from what I've heard - it isn't being adequately addressed at the moment, due to lack of resources.

Yes I have a cousin who suffers from PTSD and he's under 30. It's horrible. So frustrating.
