With the end of the Iraq War and the continuing drawdown of military forces from Afghanistan, various medical after-effects of these conflicts are being seen at home. Military personnel face issues that have been seen in other conflicts, especially increased risk of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), suicide risk, substance abuse, and depression. However, a new disorder is being highlighted with greater frequency, the problem of traumatic brain injury. This book seeks to educate healthcare providers and soldiers, and their loved ones, about these topics, and what can be done to help.
This introduction is intended as a brief overview of the medical issues returning soldiers face returning from Iraq and other war zones. I include the Wikipedia articles on:
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Psychological Resilience (factors that help a person overcome a stressful environment)
• Benefits for US Veterans With PTSD, including how to show that you have PTSD
• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Traumatic Memories
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Exposure Therapy
formatted for the Kindle, with all hyperlinks and images preserved, so that you can explore these serious conditions, and ways to overcome them, in more depth.
