Sea can be tough for mental health too:

Echo all above about dealing with the problem at hand.
My bigger issue here is the continued lack of faith in Rick Sager and crowd at Paton. I can't blame anyone who doesn't want to go there for fear of the consequences, I suspect this is a military wide problem, but KP was particularly awful.
I went to Patton twice:
Plebe year I had a dentist say, out loud, "Oh ****" when she was doing a filling, a filling that had to be redone six months later, and as I later discovered probably wasn't necessary in the first place. I also went when I was sick 1/C year, argued with the doctor, I said I was sick, she said I wasn't, boring middle part, I threw up in a trash can, she then conceded I might be sick... sigh. Bedside manner isn't a thing.
It is just the culture that keeps people away. They're not welcoming. They're not helpful. It starts with the receptionist and works it way up to most of the doctors. I found it really strange during indoc when we had an hour long class at patton where they kept saying "No matter what they tell you up the hill, we're here to help you!" My confused plebe brain said "If they're really here to help, why do they have to put this disclaimer on things?"
I could go on.... but long story boring, get the help you need, though I'm understanding if you want to try and work that without Patton having any knowledge of things.
A 65' once told me "If you're sick stay in your rack. If you're really sick, hitch hike to the Mariners Hospital... in San Francisco."
In all seriousness it is so disappointing this is still an issue.
