The truth is the best way. Many a person I know admits to have been nervous in crowds after serious combat and wounds, but; that goes away over the years. I was shot twice and after release from Womack, I had some panic and anxiety attacks. The panic attacks did go away after years of them. You will not die from a panic attack. The anxiety may last?
I can only state what I know. I was already in SF. Still, I would be honest. They did not know about this PTSD in 1969. They damn sure would not load up any SF officer or NCO with antidepressants and/or tranquilizers. Ativan is serious crap. Try to get off of it. Run and exercise. Stay physically tired, not mentally tired. This Army today is sold on PTSD and mental crap.
