Editor's note: An educated person asked me the other day whether PTSD is a "real thing" or just a scam for ex-G.I.s to get disability from the government.
Yes, it's a real thing. Killing other human beings under the auspices of one's government is not good for one's mental health and spiritual well being. Being a witness or perpetrator to such things creates a hell on the psychic level that few people can adjust to with any degree of peace and love in their mind and hearts.
While medications can help subdue the symptoms, they are not the answer to a basic spiritual problem.
I have been practicing Social Work for 56 years on 10/31/2024 having started on 10/31/1968 at Kings Park State Hospital. I am 78 years old. I love my profession and have appreciated it more and more every year I have practiced it. This blog is written primarily for Social Workers and other Human Service Professionals and it may be of some interest to the general public as well.
New articles are published every Monday and sometimes in between.
