Invisible Wounds of War: Psychological and Cognitive Injuries, Their Consequences, and Services to Assist Recovery. Edited by Terri Tanielian and Lisa H. Jaycox (499 pages, PDF)

  • “Since October 2001, approximately 1.64 million U.S. troops have been deployed for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq. Early evidence suggests that many returning service members may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Traumatic brain injury is also a major concern. But there is limited evidence about the scope of the problem or the most effective treatments. RAND conducted a comprehensive study of the post-deployment health-related needs associated with these conditions, the health care system in place to meet those needs, gaps in the system, and the costs associated with these conditions and with providing quality health care to those in need.”
