You said he has PTSD, then you said, now he's bipolar? Most of what you hear about PTSD is nonsense, myths, lies and in the case of Bipolar Disorder, bullchit. It's simply PTSD, minus an accurate diagnosis.

If you ever hear of anyone being MIS-diagnosed with Bi polar disorder, please ask them what their stressor was, then inform them Bipolar disorder is bullchit, then welcome them to the world of PTSD. A NORMAL reaction to life threatening/deadly events.

When soldiers come home from the wars, they are basically landing on a different planet. They often get culture shock. The brotherhood is gone, the structure is gone, the danger is gone, the sense of contributing to a greater cause is gone.

They often find lack of support for the job they did. They transition back into their own interests and get a little lost in there. They become vulnerable to dark forces attacks, which prey like vultures on innocent heroes in weakened states. Love saves them.

Thanks for the educational video.

The more we know about PTSD, the better. It would be good for us all to hear what soldiers who have it have to say about it, too, so we can better help them.

@VictorianBombshell Don't worry, it gets better, I had counseling and meds for a year and a half, now I just have something for panic attacks and an antidepressant. . And I was on some really high powered meds for that first year.

@caboose4895 Consult a doctor, councellor, or psychologist.

PTSD is not a fun thing to have. I just was diagnosed yesterday.
