Hello everyone,
I have a question. I have served in the Dutch military and my buddy is suffering heavily from PTSD after our tour in Afghanistan, now 10 years ago. He tried every therapy there is out there, CBT, EMDR, and we arrived now to the point where they just drug him and make him a vegetable. Today he called me stating he does not want to live anymore and is looking for a building to just jump off from. He said he was just joking but he has come to the point where he can't cope any longer. His marriage is getting destroyed and so is his relation with his daughters.
I am not going to accept this and I told him we are going to solve this shit even if it is going to take 30 years. He speaks not a word of English, so I am now basically searching for information worldwide on what his options are.
Are there any veterans here that recognize his situation and know of any experimental therapy's that is getting results? People that like him tried every therapy and drug there is out there and are getting no results? I heard a lot about clinical trials with MDMA, ketamine, etc. Anyone here that is getting results with that kind of therapy? Anyone that knows anything? Please let me know.
Regards,
Jan
