Due to my time in service, I have been diagnosed with PTSD and have sought assistance in dealing with it.  In the civilian world, I have been able to chart my own path for a career and am able to maneuver my schedule when needed to compensate.  I have also sought help through hypnotherapy which has been EXTREMELY helpful in getting to root causes instead of just dealing with symptoms through cognitive therapy.  I have been out of the military since 1999, and then PTSD wasn't really even acknowledged.  How is it viewed in service now? Are there negative ramifications for diagnosis or admission?
