| I can't say for sure but a lot of depression and anxiety disorders in the non-combat world is more physiological, or chemical imbalance, than psychological so it would stand to reason that some are more prone to be affected than others. They would be the first to suffer and have a worse case than others.
My Mother suffered from depression and myself and one Brother have the same disorder. The Psychiatrist (yeah, that's right, a shrink) that I see every three months said that I will be on drugs for the rest of my life.
Presently, I am taking 400mg of Wellbutrin, 3mg of Klonopin, and a new one that is the generic of Paxil, I think 5mg. This is all spread out over a day and works but makes me have a few annoying side effects which is worth it. At one time, I was taking 800mg of Wellbutrin, 500mg is on the verge of causing seizures but it's all a balancing game of chemicals because anxiety disorder causes depression which aggravates the anxiety attacks.
Anyone else have this crap or something like it? Anyhow I suspect that the symptoms are similar to battle fatigue. Poor guys. Someone (brave) needed to kick Patton in the nuts when he slapped that kid.
