I suffered 2.5 years in army service without getting proper help. It took time for me to get courage and ask for mental health help, but even then my request was denied again and again up until a point I was losing it.
It took long time to receive help, when actually what I have received is a discharge from the army because the army Pdoc thought I'm psychotic - I wasn't psychotic, I was depressed and desperate to get help. Thanks a lot! (I had psychotic break months later.. )
