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.

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC)

Google "Veterans Affairs Canada" and "bluecross", and you ought to come up with the section of Canada's website on the topic of medical coverage for Veterans here ( the VAC homepage is vac-acc.gc.ca ).

My Dad was a Veteran and through BlueCross he and his wife/widow received considerable medical benefits. The program was and perhaps still is: an annual deductible of $60 followed by 80% of all claimable medical expenses being reimbursed (if there's a pensionable injury issue involved, this is considerably expanded, but otherwise the coverage is quite respectable).

This is in addition to our Provinces' individual healthcare programs which are quite good, but often have notable gaps in coverage.
