Running Into Roadblocks Due To Service-Connected PTSD?

Too Many Veterans Land on the Wrong Side of the Law Due To PTSD. Atkinson Law Can Help Them Navigate This Intricate Maze.

The brave men and women who don the military uniform and head into combat zones carry an unwavering commitment to protect our nation. But for those returning home, the battle doesn't end there; it merely shifts them to another front. This is especially true for veterans battling PTSD. If you're facing legal troubles due to PTSD, there's hope, and it comes in the form of Atkinson Law.

What Is PTSD?

PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition triggered by witnessing a traumatic event. These circumstances aren't limited to soldiers or combat; any overwhelming life experience can cause PTSD and can affect anyone, regardless of age, profession, or gender. Fortunately, PTSD is treatable, and many individuals find relief through therapies and interventions.

Common Symptoms

PTSD can hinder the day-to-day life. Veterans, in particular, may feel embarrassed and hesitant to seek help. Their adverse conduct might get them into legal trouble. They might also find it challenging to navigate the VA disability claim appeal. Many might not recognize the signs in the first place.

If you've been experiencing the following for months, it definitely warrants a consultation:

• Flashbacks of the distressing memories

• Avoiding discussions related to the trauma

• Detachment and lack of positive emotions

• Constant agitation and easy startling

• Negative self-view and guilt

• Rapid mood changes

• Sleep issues

• Difficulty focusing

• Physical distress

• Self-destructive behavior

• Trust issues

How PTSD Affects Later In Life

While some PTSD symptoms can manifest shortly after a trauma, PTSD can often arise years later, especially as a veteran ages.

Retirement can provide excess time for reflections on past traumas, and age-related medical conditions might intensify the associated symptoms.

A sudden halt in substance use, previously masking the pain, might also exacerbate PTSD. Moreover, a lack of support can deteriorate the mental well-being of a veteran, leading to unfortunate interactions with the legal system.
