In the Air Force, a visit to the Mental Health Unit voluntary or not, meant your job. I tried to off myself after '91 and my squadron leadership knew it. When they would ask, I just sucked it up and lied. My wife and kids needed an accidental death to benefit. We were always told to NEVER go to Mental Health because that was the end of your career. When I applied for PTSD, I lied then too. Why? I did not want to be ushered away to a ward and whatever happens after that. Regardless, my examiner gave me 70. The stigma when I was in was a fact of life.
