Environmental Effects ON MENTaL HeAlTh

Not just in the United States, but worldwide

Well..

It's important because if we learn and understand the minds of people who lived through certain historical periods (e.g., the Vietnam War, WWII, 9/11) and how they were affected, we can gain a better understanding of ptsd and develop new ways of trying to help and or support them financially, even when they don't reach out without overstepping boundaries.

Hm..

What?

I'm Sure Your TRying to connect how kendrick lamars quote has anything to do with mental health in different states, and you would be correct to say it doesn't HOWEVER

Depression and post-traumatic stress disorder are two well-known effects of military service, and veterans have dealt with both.Veterans who returned from Vietnam were abandoned, practically mad, and psychologically lost; they could no longer live a normal life. Terrible nightmares of what they saw, hearing an airplane and believing it's a bomber, these are all examples of ptsd that have resulted from historical events in the United States.

Little is known about the frequency of trauma exposure and the development of adverse mental health outcomes such as Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety among German forces after being in a combat zone. Land forces are at constant risk for developing mental health problems at war, and the need for mental health services is greater during conflict. PTSD is commonly known as a ‘trauma-related mental disorder with anxious and depressive features, resulting from exposure to one or more events involving actual or threatened death or serious injury’ (Todd et al., 2015). Worth mentioning is that land forces with symptoms of PTSD are suffering from a severe and insidious injury, one that was thrust upon them by exposure to traumatic incidents that involved killing,injury, or witnessing the death of other veterans.

It is very unrealistic to expect the society in which we live to understand what exactly veterans go through during past deployments in Afghanistan. The only perceptions of war and what it feels like to go to war are propagated through media sources, reports, and what is shared on social media.

Many wars continue to engulf Africa, from east to west and from north to south, leaving many Africans severely traumatized (1). Musisi (2), in his chapter in the recently published volume "Essentials of clinical psychiatry for sub- Saharan Africa", reports significant physical and psychological war-related trauma inflicted to the Ugandans in their homes, at military checkpoints and in detention. The most commonly encountered mental disorders were found to be post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at 39.9 percent , depression at 52 percent , anxiety at 60 percent and somatization disorder at 72.2 percent . The prevalence of suicidal behaviour was recorded as 22.7 percent and that of alcohol abuse as 18.2 percent . (Njenga et al. War and mental disorders in Africa)
