It looks like a bunch of nothing and hot air. We need institutional improvements, but we need to be able to get into the heads of PTSD veterans.

One of the few things we agree on. Start with better mentally diagnosis on the front end and compare the results against potential and actual suicides. In the civilian world we referred to this as Root Cause.

Indeed clinicians do via a technique of revisiting, reliving and revising. We go w/ them over time until they show symptomatic relief. Many in combat actually present w/ complicated PTSD due to repeated trauma.

SSgt Richard Kensinger - None of my therapists could connect with me during the worst part of the PTSD. I felt like I was only 5% of a functional person. I can sympathize with those who have suicidal thoughts when they hit rock bottom. Gun safety, catchy phrases, and new phone numbers are fine and dandy, but the crux of the matter is; how do we find the switch that facilitates the elimination of reasons to die to reasons to live. How do we sustain and support those who are at 5%.
