Philip, I know exactly what the Officer is going through. I too was a
police officer and became disabled (CMT). Although a gun shot disability
has to be more traumatic than a disorder, I can relate to his depression
about his situation. I went through it all and the only one that can help
him is him. He has to accept the challenge and realize that he can still
be productive with his life. After the depression was defeated, I applied
myself to develop computer skills that enable me to function as the
supervisor of the Crime Analysis and Crime Stopper Units of a police
department. The Montreal officer could do something similar. It's up to
him! Friends can make it a little easier but when it gets right down to
it, he has to make the decision alone.
