that doctor is a moron and does not serve to be one. i feel sorry for your son and i will pray for him and all our other soldiers and people in the military... just see another doctor or get in contact with the vetern's affairs office

To my understanding, any emergency or pressing care medical institution is needed via regulation to handle you in spite of your economic difficulty, yet i do no longer think that deepest practice workplaces are decrease than the comparable criminal constraint. in my opinion, if I had a doctor that refused therapy on such an small volume of astonishing stability and it jeopardized my wellbeing or the wellbeing of a buddy, i may be getting a sparkling physician and submitting lawsuits with any organization that video exhibit gadgets and costs the scientific experts.

Go to Combat Stress. They have treatment and respite centres just made for your son. They have one in Surrey, one in the Midlands and another in Scotland. I think you can get them at www.combatstress.org.uk. Other than that, there is the British Legion and SSAFA who are both marvellous! You can find them in yellow pages. I wish you the best of luck in helping your son.

He should go to a VA outreach clinic. Much better than the standard VA health care for PTSD.
Another thing he can do is contact other soldiers. Find other people with PTSD and talk to them.

This seems to be a doctors regular habit. I was into a consultation a few months ago and as the doctor was writing down my answers I was reading it. I stopped replying but he carried on writing down answers I hadn't given him. When I challenged him he got shirty and when I refused to see him again I though he was going to cry. The stupid bugger. I want to be cured not placed in with the also-rans...............

talk to his military doctor, they will have much more experience of this and also a lot more time for it. unfortunatelt its all part of modern warfare and the populus just doesnt seem to care as all the danger is so far from them.

The VA has self-help groups. He should join one where he can talk it out with guys just like him who were there too.

Go to another doctor, preferably a psychiatrist.
