Mental issues are very controversial.

Different religions and thelogians have different views.

People who believe in personal resopnsibility have different views.

The goal of all government help should be to get people off government help and self-supporting or supported by family and private charity.

From what I’ve seen of PTSD treatment it is often used as an excuse to not function inspite of the problems. But I’m no expert on PTSD. I deal with healthcare statistics in the Medicaid and private insurance world. Not so much the VA.

I had a HS buddy who served as a life guard at the Army pool at Long Binh.
He put in for PTSD claiming he was never able to swim in a pool again ... reminded him of VN.
