Meeting the Emotional Needs of Returning War Zone Veterans
Veterans who serve their country and return from duty face formidable challenges upon re-entry. Most return and are able to resume their lives, but too many bear the burden of psychological and psychiatric disorders, and many have problems exacerbated by a complex system to obtain services and benefits. The articles in this issue of Psychiatric Annals address the specific mental health issues and challenges faced by returning veterans.
