This is a truth that is often overlooked, but it is one that is important to remember. Heroes are not born; they are made. And in the process of becoming a hero, they often experience trauma and adversity that can leave them with lasting scars.

The mental health of heroes is often overlooked, but it is just as important as their physical health. Heroes are often exposed to violence, death, and destruction, and these experiences can take a toll on their minds.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common mental health condition that affects heroes. PTSD can cause a variety of symptoms, including nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, and depression.

Suicide is another serious issue that affects heroes. Heroes are often at risk for suicide because they may feel isolated, alone, and misunderstood. They may also be reluctant to seek help because they don't want to appear weak or vulnerable.

It is important to remember that heroes are not immune to mental health problems. If you know a hero who is struggling, please reach out to them and offer your support. You may be able to save their life.
