According to research, first responders, including police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), experience higher rates of mental health challenges than the general population. Here are some statistics:

- Depression: Studies have found that the prevalence of depression among first responders ranges from 7% to 37%, compared to the general population's 6.7%.
- Anxiety: First responders have higher rates of anxiety disorders, with an estimated 10-20% experiencing an anxiety disorder compared to the general population's 18%.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): First responders are at an increased risk of developing PTSD, with an estimated 7-19% experiencing symptoms compared to the general population's 3.5%.

The nature of the job as a first responder is one reason why the numbers are high. They are exposed to traumatic events, life-threatening situations, and high-pressure environments regularly. First responders often experience chronic stress, which can lead to mental health challenges. Additionally, there is often a stigma around seeking help for mental health challenges among first responders, which can prevent them from seeking treatment. Overall, it is essential to prioritize mental health care for first responders to support their well-being and ensure they can continue to provide vital services to our communities.

According to Dr. Asbill of Mission Heart, studies have shown that meditation positively impacts the parasympathetic nervous system and that meditation also reduces heart rate and blood pressure.

It seems simple to me. We are not crazy. We are having the normal human reactions to our career.

Let’s end the stigma. In a path where you have committed to be the hero others need, be your own hero.
