I'm a Vietnam vet and see a VA counselor for mental health issues related to PTSD. I'm also on three meds which help with depression. For me joining a gym and going 3 - 4 times per week has been the ticket. Exercise is key for me as it lifts my spirit, provides strength and flexibility for my body, and puts a happy smile on my face. I highly endorse a good exercise program. Another huge step for me is putting alcohol in my past. It's a downer and poison for us who are alcoholics. Good luck on your PTSD and like anything we face in life, it can be managed and in a lot of cases totally healed.
