Conditions That Are Not Considered As Military Disability

By Donna Butler


Anyone who may not have the ability to perform certain duties because their body will let them is referred to as disability. In our modern society, people have started to appreciate the disabled. You find them in big offices with big jobs something that was uncommon in the past. The army is also leading by example after they introduced a program known as military disability.

The main function of the program is to ensure those disabled in the force get compensated. Disability can be caused by various reasons. Among them is while in line of duty and the soldier is injured, out of sickness, some have spouses that are disabled and others. They all get compensation. There are disorders common in the force but they do not qualify as disabilities.

Symptoms that come by due to these disorders are also disregarded as any form of a disability therefore you cannot be entitled to benefits. Many disorders affecting the soldiers are ranked under this. The first is the one having a paranoid personality by acting suspicious about other people in an irrational manner. The second one is the schizoid character where one does not interact with colleagues.

The third is where one gets emotional, erratic or dramatic. Their character is being antisocial. One acts in a way that they do not mind of the other person basic rights something that is wrong and is an infringement of the rules set. The borderline character is the condition where a person judges everything as either wrong or right which is not right.

Some individuals develop conditions whereby they tend to be attention seekers wherever they go and at times end up doing things that are inappropriate. It is known as the histrionic disorder. The other one is the narcissistic personality whereby one gets self involved excessively caring little about others. They live the life of fantasies.

The other conditions are those that cause the affected to be apprehensive or uneasy. At first, the enduring begins to experience shyness and view themselves as derisory and when they get discarded, they get responsive to it. This is because of lack of sense of worth. The nature is identified as avoidant disarray. The state where an individual tends to rely on others terribly is known as dependant disarray.

The obsessive-compulsive is the other one. In this situation, individuals affected tend to be very strict while following all the rules set without defiance. They seem always orderly. They are referred to as perfectionist. When they find themselves in situations that are out of their control, they tend to withdraw emotionally. This is something that can interfere with their ability to solve problems amicably.

Some of the soldiers get to a point where it is always impossible for them to say no to any urge which is a condition called impulse control making them dangerous around others. Substance abuse is also among the many conditions that are never considered as disabilities. Professionals are called in to help those affected through counseling and treating them as they are all curable unlike disabilities which are not.
