I appreciate what the individuals were telling you. I have a master's degree in psychiatric nursing, and I've worked in that area for a long time. I think mental illness, regardless of the form it takes, whether it's a schizophrenic kind of disorder or a PTSD disorder, is very difficult for the public and for family members to relate to and to try to get a handle on. So I think these veterans are experiencing what folks with mental health difficulties have always experienced.
I think anything that can be done to help families, the community, and actually health care providers—who are not experts in this area, but who really appreciate the nature of what is being experienced—would be helpful. I think a book would be great.
