Both a resource for struggling veterans and a useful tool for their loved ones or anyone looking for ways to support the veterans in their lives. Too often American veterans return from combat and spiral into depression, anger and loneliness they can neither share nor tackle on their own. This guide seeks to aid our troubled, returning forces by dissecting the numerous mental health problems they face upon arriving stateside. The authors detail not only each issue's symptoms, but also discuss what treatments are available, and the best ways for veterans to access those treatments while readjusting to civilian life.

Philpott, Don, 1946-
