THERESA â Scott White had post-traumatic stress disorder under control since he got his service dog. But Leo got spooked and ran off during a hike on Wellesley Island last week, causing Mr. White to slip back into seizures and then be rushed to the hospital.
Mr. White, a retired veteran who spent 27 years in the Army, is a man whose pain is at a level 10 most of the time after all of his years in service, highlighting not only all he goes through, but all that his wife goes through as well.
Mr. White, who has lived in Theresa for 13 years, suffers from pseudo-seizures, which are psychological seizures that come on from severe mental stress. His seizures come on from PTSD, which often causes him to black out and potentially harm himself because of the disease.
