I know from personal experience. I served in the Army for 15 years as a combat medic. During my last tour in Iraq I was responsible for 44 soldiers, plus the medical care &amp; supervision for close to 800 Infantry and support soldiers. I saw so many horrible things, and sad to say, did some horrible things, too. It came with the territory; war. I really needed someone to talk to, but as the senior leadership for my soldiers, I had nobody to turn to. In my mind, talking to someone meant showing weakness. My case is not isolated either; ask any combat arms soldier and he will tell you the same thing. If you ask for help, your unit will brand you a "shitbag" "pussy"...you name it. Doesn't matter how honorably you've served, how many lives you've saved, how many combat operations &amp; missions you've gone on.<br> Well, here I am 4 years later, dealing with a case of severe chronic PTSD. I've been hospitalized 5 times due to it, I suffer from depression, mood swings, anger issues, nightmares almost every single night, memories that won't go away, and countless other issues. The pain is both emotional AND physical; depression hurts. Survivor's guilt HURTS.<br> Until the military climate changes and people who need help are no longer ostracized for asking for help, things like this will continue to happen. I wish it wasn't so, but the fact is, if you have mental health needs in the military, you are no longer useful.</p>dropzonemedicWed, 21 Oct 2009 16:00:38 -0000
