He is a brave man and I applaud him recognizing and getting help. Thank you Mr. Kander for your service. 
.@JasonKander is courageous in so many ways. Seeking help for PTSD is just one. My thoughts are with Jason and every veteran struggling with the injuries of war—both seen and unseen.https://medium.com/@JasonKander/about-four-months-ago-i-contacted-the-va-to-get-help-2dc6006804c1 …

A very brave young man. I hope he gets to the point where he can understand why he's got PTSD with depression. With meditation, counseling and prayer he'll get to know himself better.

@JasonKander I'm not a therapist- I've had PTSD for 27 years, but don't have depression. You refer to it as a "mental health" issue - try exploring with your counselor that trauma creates changes in the cells of the brain, that it can be physical changes that occur in the brain. -
As I said, I am not a therapist, and it is only a suggestion. Most therapists, I think, approach PTSD as "emotional" - it can be, everyone is different, but I believe there is a physical change in the brain that doesn't always get addressed. Good luck.
