Hi everybody, here is the story,
My brother in law who is nearly 20 now has the problem. He wasn't that
clever at school, so he decided to join the army. That was ofcourse after
finishing high scool. What I knew about him that he has one close friend (
neighbour). What he usually does in his life ( during school time ) coming
back home, going for a football, hanging with his only friend, That's it.
The boy had to join the army ( he like that,and he is strong and healthy),
he doesn't have any problems regarding their drills or tasks. But, in his
first days at the army has this feeling maybe fear mixed with obsessin.
He wants to go home , miss being at home very much that he cries. We
had a hard time being with him, talk with him about being patient, looking
to his futur and career. Despite every attempt from everyone around
hime, nothing new. His parents even visited him their many time. We
took to phsychiatrist ( shrink ) , but nothing change.
After those terrible days and night, and after finishing the training time at
the army and settling in his new job, boy came normal. Every fear and
obsession gone, and everyone was happy that he is back.
Recently, his uncle died and he wached the corpse actually. Now, my wife
talked to me last night tha the same old problem came back to her
brother, a long with nightmares.
The boy is embarrassed to talk about his problem renewal . He only
spoke to my wife, and asked her to talk to me.
I don't know what to do .
Anybody with any thoughts, or ideas, Thanks.

No. All he can do is endure, as far as I know. Stay in contact with him as much as possible, of course.

The misery isn't going to evaporate until he knows what triggers these depressive fits and gets some perspective.
Is there a good mental health professional in the area?

Thanks Noddy, the problem is that he doesn't know what make these mixed
feeling!
About the professional, I think there is but his father doesn't believe in
shrinks.
Sorry for taking long to reply.

Bachelors have much more time than married men.
Does his father have absolute veto power over getting some professional counselling?

No, I guess. There is his mother and sister ( my wife ).

He's not a child any more. He has to act to help himself.

Turning a boy into a man can take a lot of repetition.
