The active military, National Guards, and reserves forces personnel is/was proud to serve their country and is ecstatic of what they had accomplished. If any complications during wartime mentally or physically, these veterans expect the same immediate favors in return.
Inadequate Funding and Lack of Resources
VA and DOD estimates the cost of service for the service members and the shortage of clinicians has made the process prolong and health issues increase.
Most popular mental disorders caused by OIF/OEF are PTSD/TBI. In combat, experience in fear, helplessness, and horror are emotions that had been greatly shared among service members that had served in the combat zone that lead to these traumatic disorders.
Comorbidity disorders (depression, anxiety, and suicide) is extremely detrimental. PTSD plays a major role in these disorders due to service staff in the combat zone, and could exasperate a person into serious psychological injuries that may lead to harm or death.
Recommendations and implementations are essential policies needed for our troops. It is recommended that the traumatized individual seize help immediately after the severe experience had occurred. Harrison et al. 2010 announced that it is recommended that the veterans get psychological attention before and after deployment to provide knowledge about PTSD so that are aware of the signs and symptoms to provide early/later detection in themselves as well as in others.
