The toll of depression and PTSD among police and their families | ABC News

[@GreatWhite7]

PTS is not a disorder, its a natural response to traumatic events.

[@robertallan6373]

It can become a disorder if it continues for a long period of time, I was shot back in 1980 and every day I think about it, or something triggers the memory.

Post Traumatic Stress Natural response to traumatic events doesn't really roll off the tongue though does it

They took codeine off the shelves (now a trip to the Dr. & prescription), but you can walk into any local shopping centre & buy as many cigarettes, or quantity of alcohol, as you can carry or afford. Why ? Federal & State taxes. The hypocrisy is indefensible..

POLICE LIVES MATTER.

You don't need to risk your own life in order to raise my concern. Stay safe and keep walking with the dogs. That Will do for me and him. This journey of yours is already a mountain you did climb. Respect ❣️

PTSD is not exclusive to police, veterans etc... there are a lot of people in Australia who suffer from PTSD (victims of violence, domestic etc, children who grow up from these situations, new victims etc) and need support. We decided to give our monthly 'charity' contribution to an organisation that helps sufferers of PTSD. We dont claim any back on tax but if you feel the need to help there are so many places you can give to and still claim back on tax (unless they have changed that now lol).... if you help it may be someone in your family you save, just my thoughts.....
