When I was in, back in the mid-70’s, I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me, suffering extreme panic attacks for no apparent reason, went to sick bay on my ship for it, right before a 7 month Mediterranean cruise. They thought I was trying to get out of going on the cruise, and basically pooh-poohed me and did nothing. I wound up having a severe melt-down on the cruise, with the untreated condition worsening. By the time we got back to that states, within 2 months I couldn’t handle it anymore and went AWOL for 2 months, just to try to get transferred off the ship and get some help. I wound up with an honorable discharge instead — not what I was looking for, but my record was good, and they were trimming down the service in ’77. I stopped drinking altogether 2 months after my discharge, then sought help at the V.A. after 4 months of suicidal depression. They diagnosed me as manic-depressive (now called bi-polar disorder) and put me on lithium, which helped a lot at the time. I’m glad to hear they’re doing a little more, in the active service, for people suffering possible mental conditions.
