"Post-Tramuatic Stress Disorder. since the war it has been more and more common among soldiers, especially those who have seen active combat. Causes panic attacks, depression etc."
Talk to somebody you feel comfortable with, it doesnt have to be a doctor. Somtimes i talk to one of my friends and they might not have anything to say but they still listen.

Hi, it must be very hard for you. What you are suffering from sounds like a psychological equivalant of a needed surgery. So a good psychotheraphy is the recommended long term solution. Contact the Psychotherapy Association of Singapore (available on the internet) and make a call/appointment. Be brave and do what is best for yourself. Sincerely...

If they said you have this, did you already go to the VA, to you get rated yet, you percentage??? You can go to your local VA hospital and see someone, you dont have to wait for an appointment, just go into the ER. Tell them whats going on and the feeling your going to kill yourself, they will get you treatment...I'm a Veteran...
