Help support officers with PTSD

[Jennifer]

I haven't taken any for the last two years and seem to be doing fairly well...... HEY KID, YOU AND YOUR DOG GET OFFA MY LAWN!

My wife is really my "meter" who can tell me how I'm doing. I really don't notice when I start acting strange.

Even better. Again, some think that they will have to be on meds forever, and depending upon the individual and/or illness, they may have to. But with the correct combination of medication and therapy, one can eventually come off of medications, as long as it is medically supervised. In my opinion, meds are simply band aids to help with symptoms, its coping skills that will last a lifetime.

Thanks for sharing RDS. I suppose it is something I can never truly understand unless I experience it for myself... and I just don't see computers doing that to me

It makes perfect sense to me that having a dog would help those suffering from PTSD. See links:
