The really funny thing about career moves and PTSD, is I often see a percentage of PTSD sufferers move into the mental health fields, attempting to know more, help others in the same situation, and know even more again... From what I'm told, it is quite therapeudic for them, as they are dealing with those they are familiar with, ie. themselves, and they are always learning ways of helping themselves in conjunction with helping others just starting out with the illness. Strange, but very very true within PTSD sufferers. One of our lecturers had PTSD from when she was within the concentration camps back in the war, and she moved into pain management to help herself, and pass what she has learnt to those of us who don't know, nor understand these things that well as yet. It was a job that she knew she could do with PTSD, as it was something so near and dear to her own heart.

That could be a solution to some peoples problems in this area.
