 * Case Study - War Veterans and PTSD **

Historically, PTSD has had many different names and basis for diagnosis. However, PTSD (then Combat fatigue), was initially used to diagnose individuals experiencing post-war symptoms. Today, Soldiers returning home from wars and battle still suffer from various symptoms of PTSD and face the difficulties of merging back into their communities and society at large. Consider the following questions:


 * Are we as a society ready to receive the troops that are heading home from war?
 * Are there enough services available to help them with the various minor or major symptoms brought on by PTSD and in dealing with the trauma brought on by war?
