This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 4 million U.S. service members took part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shortly after troops started returning from their deployments, some active-duty service members and veterans began experiencing mental health problems. Given the stressors associated with war, it is not surprising that some service members developed such mental health conditions as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorder. Subsequent epidemiologic studies conducted on military and veteran populations that served in the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq provided scientific evidence that those who fought were in fact being diagnosed with mental illnesses and experiencing mental healthâ€"related outcomesâ€"in particular, suicideâ€"at a higher rate than the general population. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality, capacity, and access to mental health care services for veterans who served in the Armed Forces in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn. It includes an analysis of not only the quality and capacity of mental health care services within the Department of Veterans Affairs, but also barriers faced by patients in utilizing those services.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Veteran Access to Va Outpatient Care and Related Issues: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; July 21, 1993; Serial No. 103-22 In summary, Mr. Chairman, it is our feeling that veterans are too Often being made to feel like they are participating in a health care lottery where their chances of receiving care are heavily de pendent ou which center they visit, which physician examines them, or which day of the year they need care. As a result, veter ans are understandably confused and frustrated about whether they will receive care when they need it. Physicians, we found, are also uncomfortable with the current system. They continually have to decide whether to deny care to veterans before determining how best to meet veterans' needs. Too often, physicians are required to judge without adequate guidance whether a veteran's condition will, if left untreated, deteriorate and result in hospitalization. This places physicians in a very tough spot - relying on subjective judgments to make difficult eligibility decisions or ignoring statutory requirements in order to serve vet erans' needs.

Download or read book Homelessness Among U S Veterans written by Jack Tsai and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges facing military veterans who return to civilian life in the United States are persistent and well documented. But for all the political outcry and attempts to improve military members' readjustments, veterans of all service eras face formidable obstacles related to mental health, substance abuse, employment, and — most damningly — homelessness. Homelessness Among U.S. Veterans synthesizes the new glut of research on veteran homelessness — geographic trends, root causes, effective and ineffective interventions to mitigate it — in a format that provides a needed reference as this public health fight continues to be fought. Codifying the data and research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) campaign to end veteran homelessness, psychologist Jack Tsai links disparate lines of research to produce an advanced and elegant resource on a defining social issue of our time.
