1. with or without treatment?

I don't have any medical info to give you, but I think having a counselor would be beneficial to deal with the long-term issues. Maybe he or she can help with observations of reports you've made over time.

:hug: This may not be helpful, but I use to have panic attacks quite frequently and the internal mantra that helped me was "this will pass." :hug:

3. Murder/Suicide

One recent case of a soldier killing his family then himself. Another Fort Carson soldier killed himself. Can only speculate if it was one of these conditions, but that's what's happening.
