It's been a long time since a TV show got me so angry.
Major Jenkins' death on Madam Secretary Season 6 Episode 4 was a tragic complication of his untreated Ptsd.
At least the Va bill got passed in the end, but this didn't have to happen.
Jenkins hid his Ptsd well.
When we first met him, he was getting the Medal of Honor and seemed stable and together.

Sure, he got upset when he wasn't able to speak in front of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, but who wouldn't? Anyone would have been frustrated and humiliated to discover that the opposition canceled the meeting just to stop him from speaking.
The thing about Ptsd, though, is that it's often an invisible illness.
Not everyone who experiences a traumatic event experiences Ptsd. That's part of the problem. It's entirely unpredictable.
