Coping with Mental Anguish and Untreated Psychological Injuries

Psychiatric Casualties

Mark Russell and Charles Figley unpack the complexities of psychiatric casualties, exploring the full scope of mental health crises and the systemic failures in addressing them. From cultural idioms of distress to the mislabeling of combat veterans, they shine a light on the urgent need for a holistic approach to military mental health care.

They navigate the intricate web of neuropsychiatric diagnoses, the stigmatization of mental health issues, and the dire consequences of untreated psychological injuries. This episode serves as a stark reminder of the real and devastating impact of chronic stress on our service members, and the pressing need for change in military mental health policies.
