What would it take to get a PTSD forum started on DU???
There are some Vets coming back from Iraq that are on DU and have no Idea what to expect from the VA or where to even find a Support group for PTSD. Some of us older ( and I do mean old)'Nam vets have been the whole route, we have seen it all, and I think we can help, in some small way to support each other and the Iraq vets coming behind us, any suggestions would be appreciated.

2. I've been thinking about this for weeks. What about posting
in the Mental Health Support Group? You could start your own, very specific threads but also get support from the community. :hi:

4. Look for support in GDPolitics.
There are frequent outbreaks of PTSD there. ;-)
