Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

The VA healthcare system and the disability processing is aggravating. My psychologist felt like I should be 100% permanent instead of 70% service connected with individual unemployability. The doctor they had me see for my eval saw me for a whole of about 15-20 minutes. I would think it would be kinda hard to figure out what degree a person is without seeing them.

I really think something needs to be done about the healthcare system set up for Veterans. Especially the psychiatric care due to the amount of soldiers, sailors and airmen coming back with PTSD.

I was almost medically discharged, but I couldn't take one more day of where I was working (I could have waited out the medical board if I wanted to). I took my honorable discharge and crossed my fingers with filing a disability claim.

But thanks txmomof3. :)
