Soldier seeking help for PTSD told it is a "catchall" by psychiatrist

Soldier seeking help for PTSD told it is a "catchall" by psychiatrist? Really? A wife wrote into Miss Vickie at Fort Campbell looking for help because her life is falling apart. Reading it mad me sad until I got to this part.
My husband won’t take the medication. He also said the psychologist and the psychiatrist said you can’t really diagnose PTSD because it’s just a catch-all diagnosis. My husband also said he was told by the same people that PTSD cannot be treated. So now he won’t go back to for help. This is really breaking me down and I don’t know how to convince him that he needs to get help.

Just one more piece of the puzzle to help us all understand that when it comes to what the military tells the general public, what they tell the troops is a whole other story! Any more questions on why they keep saying everything is being done yet the troops say nothing has changed?
