The deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

American military personnel deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan are being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in rapidly increasing numbers, according to statistics released on Tuesday by the US Army Surgeon-General.

James Cogan of the WSWS wrote an article about the research results:

Also at the BBC there is a report about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:
Nearly half the US soldiers who serve in Iraq and Afghanistan will suffer some form of post-traumatic stress, according to the US military.

Now there are efforts to find new ways to deal with the 60,000 cases of combat-related stress diagnosed since the conflicts began.
