Just Got Out Of Mental Heath

[ranger11bv]

I just got out of the mental health ward at the VA in Phoenix. I was wondering if I should file and what for??

What happened?

Was talking to some friends on the phone and found out that they were getting together without me. We always get together w/ each other. But being me, I thought different. That put me over the edge. I was on the highway at the time. This is the second time me being in the mental health ward.

Not only should you file but you probably need to work this out at a Vet Center or someone who is professional.

What should I say/ tell them??

What should I say/ tell them??

Good Morning, 'Ranger11bv'. Pete 53's suggestion about visiting a Vet Center sounds like a good idea. Tell them what you just posted here. That's a start.

If I were you I would see a VSO Veteran Service Officer at DAV, VFW, American Legion or State Organization and ask them to help file a claim for PTSD/with depression.

What is your current rating for? If it is for PTSD/depression the trips to the mental ward should really help you get a higher rating. I would file for an increase using the date of your hospital admission and those records as your evidence. The GAF you got on admission has to be low or they would not have admitted you.
