Disabled American Veterans, traumatic brain injured?

Chuck G asked:

I’m a Vietnam era DAV veteran, and I would like to hear from some retuning TBI or PTSD contemporay veterans who are having difficulty transitioning from active to disabled military status. I’m a volunteer at the Nsahville VAMC, and have not met any of you brave men & women who may have a very trying time navigating the DOD & VA systems. I’m experienced as I was fortunate enough to have completed the VA rehabilitation program. Thank you for your service, I look foreward to hearing from you.
Try out paid surveys to see if it works

    I am not a veteran, however, I have a colleague who came back from Iraq. He is a totally different person- “fubarred” if you will. He almost has this psychotic feature about him- sometimes really scary because he can’t seem to live in the present. He will talk at times of being over there with the other guys - he gets that 100mile stare- you can tell he is reliving something, somewhere. He tells us that there are many others who will require mental health interventions in the future. I would like to know what to expect and what is the best way to reach these people as a civi and female in the mental health nursing practice. Would love to write. Let me know.
