where do you go for help with PTSD when you go to the VA and all they give you is a workbook?
I went to the VA cause I started having flashbacks and nightmares among other things and all they gave me was a workbook and told me that they would see me in 6 mths. I got a purple heart and a bronze star I think I deserve better than this. Don't you?

Go to your local vet center. They will help you now. VA is a sick joke.

They say that treatment of soldiers with PTSD is getting better, and we know that it is not. I would recommend that you get in touch with tricare ( if you have 'tricare for life')to see what is covered and see if you can get a referral from the VA to get counseling off post.
