Depression sucks
It wraps its ugly black tentacles around you and squeezes hard as it holds on for dear life. It manifests in a variety of ways that may not initially seem like depression. You are in constant pain, you have difficulty concentrating or remembering things, you can't sleep or maybe you sleep too much, you have chronic headaches, you tend to feel hopeless most of the time, you're incredibly tired and fatigued, you have digestive issues, you overeat or maybe you've lost your appetite and you're not eating enough to sustain good health, you're irritable or restless for no apparent reason, you feel empty or sad, you're not interested in things that used to make you happy, and perhaps you feel suicidal.
1. We are looking for veterans or active duty service members with PTSD or TBI that want to join the "confidential" Pilot Program, along with their family members.
Here is a link to our newsletter: https://www.smore.com/x19ep
2. In addition, I would like to know if you would be interested in participating (Confidentially) or volunteering to help veterans with PTSD, TBI, and Disabled Veterans through an online Virtual Pilot Program.
If there is some interest to help please contact me: [login to see]
If you are interested in either of the above and would like to attend a demonstration, we are conducting them on Thursday nights at 7:00 PM EST. Please go to this link: http://www.sponsoravet.life/#!webinar-/dxphe
Please pass this along to any others that may be interested in helping. Thank you for your service to our country and have a great day!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Depression comes from many causes. I have a 70% rating from the VA for depression due to my service related injuries, that have left me unable to work.
Anything that takes away from ones' sense of self will cause depression. This includes grief from all causes (death, injury, loss of job, retiring, downsizing ones' home, etc...)
Of course PTSD and TBI include depression as a symptom. The VA lumps all behavioral issues into a single disability rating. So a veteran with PTSD, TBI, Depression, Anxiety, and other related issues, will get a single rating, based on the severity of symptoms, including whether the veteran is suicidal, and if so, to what extent. This often causes consternation when vets file claims, so it's always good to ensure they know how claims are rated. This was something I always explained as a service officer.
I'm looking forward to working with vets through SAVL...
