Previously I mentioned how I was outraged to learn that the VA Tries To Misdiagnose Veterans by advising mental health employees “refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out. Consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder, R/O PTSD.” Well this was because Adjustment Disorder is “non-compensable” according to VA Tries To Misdiagnose Veterans by advising mental health employees “refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out. Consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder, R/O PTSD.” Well this was because Adjustment Disorder is “non-compensable” according to Gordon P. Erspamer of Morrison & Foerster’s San Francisco office.
This is the absolute best argument for why we as the Citizens of this country need Open Access Laws and Freedom of Information. I just learned that the VA is intentionally trying to misdiagnose or withhold the proper diagnosis of Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
