ARE YOU A SOLDIER SUFFERING FROM POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe psychological condition that arises from exposure to events that an individual experiences as very traumatic. Events that typically trigger PTSD involve actual or threatened physical injury, or threat to physical or psychological integrity. As a result, the person suffering from PTSD is often unable to deal with the trauma. The development of PTSD depends on the intensity of the event, the duration of the event, and the particular individual experiencing the event. Most people who experience traumatic events will not be affected by PTSD.
If you have post traumatic stress disorder, you may have already been a victim of discrimination without realizing it. Some examples of ways in which your employer may have discriminated against you include not allowing you to miss work for medical appointments, not accommodating your need to take a reasonable period of time off work, not allowing you at work accommodations for your disability, and not allowing you to attend psychotherapy to deal with your PTSD.
If you have experienced discrimination because of your post traumatic stress disorder, you may be able to sue. You may be able to bring a lawsuit if your disability results in physical limitations, if you can still perform the essential functions of your job, and if your boss has taken some form of adverse action against you. Adverse actions include things such as termination, refusal to promote, and refusal to hire. If you have been a victim of discrimination, get help today.
