Suggest Treatment For Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

I have been diagnosed with PTSD. I truly believe when I was shot in 1998 I obtained my ptsd form that incident. From 1998 to the present my life has been a down ward motion. I was divorced in 2013. she blamed it on my depression. I had been diagnosed with ptsd in 2012. During the separation I was then diagnosed with depression. My job states that I had depression and that was the cause of the divorce. I disagree. I had symptoms of ptsd for a very long time. I have had meetings with lawyers saying that it has been to long to be use on my injury. One attorney said that I would have to take a retirement but he could get me a good settlement. all I want is my treatment paid for and get my 980 hours of sick time back that I used during the divorce proceedings.
