My husband has PICS and Bipolar he is on the way to time now. I have been doing bunches of research on PICS but I cant find anything on cures or if you can whip it at all. Does anyone know?

Wow I have never heard the term PICS but it is really just like my man! I hope someone has some answers.

PICS,
It's just another name for P.T.S.D. that is prison related. I had it creeping up on me and kept pushing it to the side, hoping it would go away. Eventually it got to the point that I couldn't sleep at night "every Night" without having nightmares of situations that took place in prison. Seeing different people shanked would come into my dreams. Dreams about being in the yard in Dannemora when they opened fire into the yard. Dreams of Sing Sing and being surrounded by the national guard during a five day take over. You are just there and have no control over anything that is going down. Alive today, maybe dead tomorrow. You can't deal with it then, but it will come back down the road. I thought that I was losing it. It turned into paranoia at times, depression at times. I had trouble with large brick buildings, to many people in one place at the same time. If I couldn't see everything that was going down around me I had to leave. Different things trigger it. The key is to develop a clear understanding of what is happening, learn about triggers, learn how to talk yourself down, put the tuff guy to the side and deal with the damage caused by years in max. security. The harder/tougher you were in prison the more likely it is to happen. You can't show any emotions at the time because you don't give a f__k and need to get that message across to your fellow inmates. This is coming from a guy who spent about 2 1/2 years total box time during 8 years in max. Joints. Some how I managed to overcome this and become a therapist. It's not easy to beat, but you can't let it beat you. Your time is over, don't carry it to your grave.

What can I do to help him adjust? This round has been really hard on him and I can tell that at times he was ready to crack but hasn't. He is due home in a very short time, hopefully this time for good.
