Either the family and friends do not realize how they are hurting the person or they do not care what the education and science says about the condition. <br /> What insights can you offer to the family and friends of a person suffering with PTSD, who are contributing to the person's failing recover? 2025-12-25T23:30:35-05:00 PO3 Phyllis Maynard 9055470 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It is a stunning experience to watch the people closest to a person with PTSD berate and aggravate the person constantly.

I seem to feel that there are plenty of people that went through more than I did. Also after 40 years of Police work both Military and civilian the number of call where Physiatrist were the problem themselves on far too many family disturbance calls. A lot of them had their own mental health problems in My opinion and i didn&#39;t trust them to solve My own. One Physiatrist friend of mine told Me about 85% of His own fellow shrinks entered the field to find out what was wrong with themselves. On some of those calls it was the so called Mental Health professionals were the problem and NOT the family member they called about. In some of those cases it was the Doctor I either arrested or determined they were the problem. it&#39;s not family support but lack of trust in these Physiatrist to go there with My problems. I seem to do better with My own fellow Veteran&#39;s than many of those Doctors. I have had college courses in Psychology but I&#39;m NOT a Doctor or expert in that field but i know a nut when I see one and many of these Doctors qualify as just that !
