wits end ...now what

by coopsta, Nov 06, 2008 12:23PM
I'm a disabled veteran and ( 40% ) service connected for what the VA calls a "seizure disorder".....i have been diagnosed with PTSD , depression,anger and adhd.

My question : is depression related to or caused by seizures in which i have almost 4--5 weekly.

i'm not sure if i am even asking this question correctly...........

any help would be nice.Thank you.

To: I am service connected for PTSD
I believe that seizures have nothing to do with PTSD; but can be result of brain injuries if you were hurt in service.  I worked hard to get the PTSD diagnosis and also at 100% (also have some to stomach also).  So if you are righting for more disability with VA, just do not give up on any claims.  hope this helps
