make military members past and present, diagnosed with PTSD as merit to be awarded the Purple Heart, as well as TBI.

Service members diagnosed with PTSD suffer from a debilitating injury that affects more than just mood. PTSD is not a disorder but an injury that affects the brain and a service members life, just as a service member breaks a leg and does not recover well and has a limp, PTSD sufferers have permanent damage to the inner brain works. Although PTSD cannot be seen on x-ray it is a true injury from combat and should be awarded the Purple Heart as any other injury in combat.
