I have to have PTSD on paper as a matter of principle. I was "treated" by Fort Hood docs in 2004-2006 after Iraq deployment. I was treated like a malingerer and denied proper disability compensation as well as dx so treatment could be applied. I have my CIB as proof of combat stressors when it was required for diagnosis. I can't put it behind me and having a discharge for EPTS Bi-polar when PTSD would of been the logical assumption based on symptoms given. I didn't even know what PTSD was until I was put into psych hospital by VA. The doctor putting troops out without proper dx necessary for proper treatment is now the head of psych and promoted to Lt Col. I remember her asking me a few questions from a sheet of paper.... I answered and she left the room for over 40 minutes. I walked out and just left ...but got a call from an E-7 apologizing and referring me to the Restoration and Resilience Center. They treated me for ADHD and counseling twice a month concentrated on that only. It ain't right
