Dr Yassiri says..”There are efforts to organise research looking at mental health services, what would be feasible economically and culturally,” he says.”There are a lot of things happening. But it will take years.” If someone had flashbacks, nightmares, nerves, there would be nowhere for them to seek help.. “Youssef”, Basra doctor.

On Thursday, BBC News talks to UK veterans.Friday, 12 August, 2005, 16:55 GMT 17:55 UK

The percentage of study subjects whose responses met the screening criteria for major depression, generalized anxiety, or PTSD was significantly higher after duty in Iraq (15.6 to 17.1 percent) than after duty in Afghanistan (11.2 percent) or before deployment to Iraq (9.3 percent); the largest difference was in the rate of PTSD. Of those whose responses were positive for a mental disorder, only 23 to 40 percent sought mental health care. Those whose responses were positive for a mental disorder were twice as likely as those whose responses were negative to report concern about possible stigmatization and other barriers to seeking mental health care.

PLEASE DO STOP USING DRUG..

I am truly sorry on what had happened to the armies which been reported mental health. Therefore, as a human being I am trying help your organization which also required your assistance.. A few steps that needs to consideration before pursue this steps:
1- the patience must free from drug (sober)
2- close the patience’s eyes with their own hands..then
3- rubs/a little moves on their own eyes with hands gently until he/she saw images like glittering stars (one spot of light)
4- stay focus on the image/glittering spot until it appears look alike an eyes..do it for a couple of minutes.
5- after the patience saw image of the eyes,he/she should feel much better.. ( do exercise this frequently )

IF the patience do not recovered, they must been entered the Holy Place accidentally. Advisable to arrange a meeting with a Muslim community

6- refer to a Muslim what is the content of this recite chapter : Al Mu’minun:98 and al Kahfi:102
7- the images of eyes is the devil, so required a guidance from a Muslim.

Also, I think that we are diagnosing more but also seeing more because of a host of factors, including the two that you mentioned but also – significantly – because the world today does not always have a place for men and women who have served their country and been educated by the armed forces and do not have a degree from a college and so when they get out of a place where they could earn promotions and where they could earn respect and be a part of a community, many find themselves unable to find even the simplest job without that degree. The stress of losing one’s place in the world is immense and because there are not a lot of opportunities for some of these vets, they cannot handle or work through the trauma they have experienced. This is just my 2 cents.
