Anthony,

I found this info very informative. We would like to learn more about the tests done for determining PTSD. How to locate Doctors that are the "good" Drs that know what they are doing.

U.S. of A. V.A. doesn't always "help" our veterans. They load them up on meds & drag out the testing they do over a period of months in to sometimes years. They conveniently "lose" records. It's truely sad that our military people are not treated with more respect & consideration for the job they endured so that our country has it's freedom.

ranger has PTSD (low cost clinic dr determined). V.A. has not yet acknowledged it, might not ever do so do to lost records.

rangers reactions are very much like you described in the military cup of overflowing at most times, slow to recover, etc. volatile most times.

The info helps and should be of great help to those of us family members of a PTSD sufferer..

Thank you
