No, I couldn't go there for therapy and only go to those in private practice. Ive heard mixed things about the VA. I might go there for medical care, just never signed up and am always told my health insurance is "good" (not that it relates to the quality of my care-it does not).
It's really sad, the suicides. I didn't realize it was so high and wonder how it compares with civilian rates.

If you have private insurance then use that. You are mush better off. Did you know if you have Obama care that you can not use the VA healthcare system? I had private insurance but had signed up with the VA to see if I could get my prescriptions cheaper. But you have to be seen by VA doctors before they will take over your prescriptions. So I was told I had to drop one or the other. They consider it "double dipping" getting too many federal benefits. But if you have private insurance through work you can still use VA with that.
The suicide rate is higher for male and female veterans compared to civilians. There was a chart on that just recently. I will see if I can find it.
