That would make sense to me, Missy, if they asked me if there is a familial history, preferably with an explanation that some of these things are or can be genetically mediated. It doesn't when the VA --with its history of 1) that memo that came to light and 2) the past few years of diagnosing a vast majority of returning vets as having such problems as pre-existing personbality disorders followed by a sudden very sharp switch to the majority of returning vets diagnosed with PTSD in the past year or two-- is paying for the therapy AND the therapists spend SO much time on getting every detail of that unrelated-to-my-disability percentage of my 5 decades plus. I rather think I'd also be more tolerant of this extreme focus on ONLY childhood with perhaps 5 minutes given to the actual PTSD generating trauma and no time given to anything remotely current if it weren't also true that in my area half a dozen already-diagnosed vets disabled with PTSD have been told by a VA-paid counselor/therapist that they actually have something else...
Not yellin' at ya, Missy, just putting in the rest of the info that can tend to make people here very wary of stuff like this. :cautious:
