I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2003, but was having problems for years with correct medication as I also have bi-polar disorder. I continued to have problems for many years, than a year ago when I was back in the hospital for treatment for PTSD I had an anxiety attack and the doctor on call that night happened to be a specialist in TBI. After going through my records and reading up on my problems, he sent me for some test and found that I have TBI also. He changed my medication, and I am finally on a treatment plan that is working for me. Which includes medication, counseling, and acupuncture. Had he not been on call that night, I might still be suffering to this day with improper treatment.

Do you feel all soldiers who are evaluated for PTSD should also be evaluated for TBI when they get their C&P?
