Mental Manifesto

In this episode I go over the what PTSD is defined as. I also go over the medical forms I was required to fill out for my claim.

I go over what caused my PTSD and the first few steps I had to take to get mental health services. 

I go over a bit of history on how I grew up and put forth a challenge.
