Symptoms of war
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2004 11:54 pm
Has anyone seen any information on the type and treatment of symptoms related to war? I have read articles related to 9/11, but am thinking there may be other symptoms attached to conflicts of lengthy duration. Also, I would imagine there are many variants in perspective. For example:
Forces in the conflict
Forces returning home
Families of soldiers
Folks living in the midst of it all
Folks watching the 'breaking news' from afar
etc.
I'm sure there are remedies that can help with all of these scenarios and am wondering if lengthy 'exposure' to any of the above situations would result in a 'chronic' vs. 'acute' set case.
I've purposely tried to keep this request generic, as I know there is more than one conflict occurring and that there are strong opinions on 'both' sides of each issue. I'm not making any political statement, just looking for information. Any feedback will be appreciated.
