Sad. Very sad. Many of these officers will be able to claim under TPD which could do something to help soften any financial blows or lack of support. www.pksimpsonsuperclaims.com.au do a very good job and i help spread awareness on this throughout Australia through my twitter account TPD Australia - https://twitter.com/TPD_Awareness

It's sad but many ppl become depressed because they feel they have no options left to take. I was one of them and found out the path back starts with taking little steps.

I would like to Thank everyone who has contributed to
this discussion. And Thanks especially to all those
who tried to answer why police officers develop
these illnesses and suggestions of what can be done to
counter them.

For me this discussion has now run its course.
Hopefully with enough pressure from former police
officers, from organisations like Lifeline, Beyond Blue,
and wives and families - the force and governments
will take action and not continue to cover the problem.
The sooner that action is taken, the better. We can't
afford to keep losing police offciers.

See you all on another discussion.
