Hey guys, just a question. A couple years back, I began having panic attacks and anxiety precipitated by the stresses of grad school. I was not institutionalized. I voluntarily sought treatment to better my quality of life. My chart literally says generalized anxiety/panic, probable PTSD from childhood violence and abuse, no threat to self or others. I do take medication to control the panic attacks. Is this something that will disqualify me from getting an LTC-A in MA?
I ask because
1. It's a real concern for me.
2. With the media coverage of what's going on and the call for mental health screenings, it's important to remember not all mental health issues are created equal, nor do they make someone inherently dangerous, gun or no gun.
I fear that this kind of thinking may cause a lot of people to decide to go untreated.
Honest in Austin,
Chris
