Here is some more information about the Houston shooter. He's a good looking kid. He looks like a happy soldier. Now he's a dead soldier, and nobody really knows why he went on that shooting rampage . I'm feel sad when I look at him, because he could have been helped, had someone noticed he was depressed and psychotic. I hate that he killed an innocent bystander and wounded the two police officers. I wonder if that M-16 was his duty weapon, and he stole it.

Sad story indeed SGT (Join to see). Obviously he was suffering from PTSD and did not get the help he needed. I wish more people would just open up about their problems.

SFC William Farrelll as much attention that has been on PTSD and it's symptoms, in the news paper, magazines, and TV, and especially in the military, you would think someone would have picked up the way he was acting and talking. I'm still unsure why he came here to Houston. He told his dad to get a job. That should have been alarming to his dad, since California is about 1800 miles from here. Maybe some good will come out of this, and more people will be more alert when they see a friend, who's been in combat or some other reason, suddenly change and show signs of possible PTSD. The soldier, his self, or herself, isn't going to know something's wrong, or doesn't want to admit it. So it takes friends, family, and military buddies to report sudden major changes. IMHO

Based on his age, and the change in his personality and demeanor becoming more paranoid, I would suspect a schizophrenia diagnosis before PTSD. PTSD typically doesn't make people become delusional and paranoid.

Correct CPT, I believe a lot of this is misdiagnosis and he may have had TBI witch in turn with PTS and other stresses cause problem. TBI is neurological and he may not have known and can cause social problems and other issues. The problem is some of the symptoms for PTS and TBI cross over and this is how it can be misdiagnosed. The VA even try's to treat them the same. I have TBI and deal with these issues every day. PTS alone will not cause someone to go off but other factors may become an issue.

CPT (Join to see), and CPO (Join to see), I believe you are both correct. I have PTSD and chronic depression with unemployability, and I've flipped out before, but the only person I wanted to hurt is myself.
