post traumatic stress disorder
Submitted by 44 sounds on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 1:52pmI have been trying for 5 years to find information about ANYONE who witnessed the NYU suicide that happened on October 11, 2003 in the Bobst Library. I am the mother of a student who saw it happen. My now 24 year old, suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and I have secondary symptoms. We have been through hell over and over. The school has been minimally responsive. My child has been in counseling, psycho therapy, psychiatric care. at one point when we tried to get the school to extend time to finish a class, the school flagged my child as suicidal. The devastation this event has caused our family seems endless. I am not insensitive to the suicides but suicide is mass murder even when it is private; public suicide has ruined countless lives. Please help me.
i'm so glad you found us.
