    This article gives insight into the relationship between the Humane Society and the V.A. that was formed to provide shelter dogs as services dogs to veterans. Furthermore, the article provides a background as to why after two years of being active the program has only given services dogs to 19 veterans.

    Dogs are expensive. I wonder how effective this is compared to other cheaper treatments.
  •  
    I believe it is crucial for PTSD. I think there is no reason the insurance company shouldn't cover this for veterans.

    Dogs can be expensive but they can be so beneficial and such a cheaper effective way to help someone in need.

    Healthcare services for retired military are strained. State-level Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals are working to rebuild their reputation after the 2014 allegations of widespread patient neglect and long wait times. The responsibility private medical providers have toward veterans is clear - one-third of VA hospitals and clinics report inadequate mental health staff and patients wait an average of eight weeks to see a VA counselor for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    This is so true and sad. I have a friend who has bad PTSD and they treat it as a joke at his workplace. Mental illness is so prevalent and even now we are finding out so much about it and just how many people are affected by it.

    I do have a problem with this because I have Asperger Syndrome. I do hear of some getting fired just because of their disability. I would never want to get fired because of a disability. If they did that to me, I'm hiring a lawyer. I'm sure that I'd win the case because they would find it as discrimination.

    People with mental illnesses should not be treated differently, they did not ask to be born with an illness it just happens. Humans should be look for more ways to help people then discriminate them. It saddens me that mental illnesses seem to be frowned upon more then saying you have been to jail.
