13. just fyi,

the va has done some great work trying to tease out ptsd v tbi.
checkbox dx, aka a neuropsyche exam, is an archaic instrument that cannot tell the diff. symptoms nearly identical.
but when the started sorting out those that had had a clearly traumatic onset, like an ied, to those who had an unemotional event. ie, an accident.
pet scans were very different.
they are also using computer enhanced ect, formerly known as shock therapy, but fine tuned and computer guided. results have been very promising.
some report losing memories, some headaches for a while, but most felt reborn.

you might want to revisit your situation.
