If you're close with your son have a discussion with him and try to get him to agree to hand over any firearms he has for the time being. As a vet I'm assuming he has firearms.

So sorry to hear this. I pray for folks with my kids every night and your son and family are on our list.
I'm very encouraged by the responses mentioning psilocybin, LSD, MDMA etc. My feeling is that PTSD and many forms of depression are caused by damage to the brain due to trauma/stress/injury/many factors. What it seems like to me is traumatic experiences create deeper than normal neural pathways in the brain, and because those pathways are deeper, our thoughts follow these grooves over and over again, leaving people feeling like they are stuck in this negative loop they can't escape. In crude and non scientific terms, psychadelics are theorized (with more growing evidence every day) to fill in these grooves much like a fresh snow fills in ski runs with fresh powder. People in the therapy report thought patterns outside of that negative loop almost immediately following a session. I believe your son could see similar results.
