Join the debate Go to Original More Troops Developing Latent Mental Disorders The Associated Press Thursday 28 July 2005 Symptoms appear several months after returning from Iraq, military says. Washington - A survey of troops returning from the Iraq war found 30 percent had developed mental health problems three to four months after coming home, the Army's surgeon general said Thursday. The problems include anxiety, depression, nightmares, anger and an inability to concentrate, according to Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley and other military medical officials. A smaller group, usually with more severe cases of these symptoms, is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. The 30 percent figure is in contrast to the 3 percent to 5 percent diagnosed with a significant mental health issue immediately after they leave the theater, according to Col. Elspeth Ritchie, a military psychiatrist on Kiley's staff. A study of troops who were still in the combat zone in 2004 found 13 percent experienced significant mental health problems. Follow-up Screenings Soldiers departing a war zone are typically given a health evaluation as they leave combat, but the Army is only now instituting a program for follow-up screenings three to six months later, said Kiley, speaking to reporters.

Studies are needed to systematically assess the mental health of members of the armed services who have participated in these operations and to inform policy with regard to the optimal delivery of mental health care to returning veterans. Methods We studied members of four U.S. combat infantry units (three Army units and one Marine Corps unit) using an anonymous survey that was administered to the subjects either before their deployment to Iraq (n=2530) or three to four months after their return from combat duty in Iraq or Afghanistan (n=3671).

Deadlines, juggling work and personal commitments, interruptions, rush hour traffic, conflict at home, or even the ringing of a cellular phone, are all familiar sources of stress. Although it is impossible to eliminate all stress from daily life, it is possible to control the effect that stress has on the body and the mind. Severe stress can be damaging to physical and mental heath. It can lead to lowered efficiency, depletion of adaptive resources, wear and tear on the biological system, and, in extreme cases, severe personality and physical deterioration, and even death. People with increased levels of anxiety and nervous tension often need to develop more effective ways of dealing with day to day stress.

Hurting on the outside was easier to deal with than hurting on the inside. There were a lot of things that made me want to cut, but eventually I thought I "grew out of it" and I just stopped. Recently I've started again...I don't know if I should see someone about it or something. Personally, I don't see that it's a problem, but other people would (and do) which confuses me.

Reduce Your Anger and Stress Aging and Alcohol Abuse Is It the Blues or Depression? Every woman gets the blues days of feeling sad or unhappy. But when these feelings darken, interfere with everyday life, and last for several weeks, they could be symptoms of a serious medical illness called clinical depression . One out of every four women will suffer one or more bouts of depression during her lifetime. Depression is even more common among women with heart disease , especially if they have had a heart attack, invasive surgery, or a heart transplant. In fact, a recent Canadian study found that women are twice as likely as men to experience depression after a heart attack.
