PTSD is a disability according to the doctors here in Canada but the government does not thinks so. I had to go back to work even though the doctors do not believe I should be working or ever again should be working as the finances could not be covered by my husband work. Going back to work did not help our marriage either. I did try to apply for disability benefits but was told my condition did not qualify.

Governments believe only the military suffer PTSD and then they are even stingy in giving them disability. As was evident in Toronto a few years ago where a military officer suffering PTSD ran his SUV into a government building as he could not get the help he needed for his PTSD.

Governments need to be educated that PTSD is a cripling disability that effects every aspect of a persons life. Nothing will be done until governments recognize that fact.
