Sinopse
Características

This is a study of the effects of the Gulf War regarding posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)on 12 male members of armed services reserve groups. Because recent wars have seen reserve combat troops activated rather than drafted, combat troops have been redeployed 2 to 4 times to Iraq and Afghanistan, ensuring an increase in occurrences of psychological trauma. According to AMA findings, 1 in 3 returning soldiers requires some form of mental health treatment. Combat trauma occurs in myriad forms among a wide distribution of males and females, depending upon several variables. Many types of psychotherapies exist to treat posttraumatic stress disorder; psychotherapy is the preferred method. While recent studies show service members receiving some mental healthcare since returning, many feel they are not receiving the care they need for treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder and a number of other problems, including depression, relationship issues, and substance abuse. Although too soon to tell the wars true effects, we must prepare for the onslaught of veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder, for surely it will come.
