Dear MyPTSD community,
Let me first introduce myself. I’m Simon, an 18 year-old student from Germany. Currently, I’m writing a term paper about combat PTSD/military PTSD. So this research is reserved for veterans. I would like to depict the issue from the soldier’s perspective in order to portray the topic in their interest. Moreover I want to show both, the soldier and the individual. I’d be glad if there are some guys who want to share their opinion with me and my readers. If you know somebody who is not a member of MyPTSD, please inform the person about this research. Maybe he/she wants to participate.
Here are some questions. I don’t mind if you don’t want to answer every question, just skip the uncomfortable ones.
If something about this post upsets anyone here, please let me know. I’m open to constructive criticism.
Best Regards,
Simon

Here are some questions. I don’t mind if you don’t want to answer every question, just skip the uncomfortable ones.
- Have you ever been deployed?
- General information on deployment (where and when, aspects of deployment, comradeship, conflict within the deployed unit)
- How did PTSD influence your everyday life (during and after deployment)?
- What kind of treatment for PTSD did you try (psychologists, medication, workbooks, etc.)?
- Which of these approaches did work for you?
- Your opinion on official treatment (VA, private institutions, medication)?
- Do you have any ideas for a successful treatment?
- How to treat a soldier as a civilian (how to help, questions to ask, questions that should be avoided by a civilian)?
