Overview: The surprising story of the Army’s efforts to combat PTSD and traumatic brain injury
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of our troops.

Alarming stories of veterans taking their own lives raised a host of vital questions: Why hadn’t the military been better prepared to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Why were troops being denied care and sent back to Iraq? Why weren’t the Army and the VA doing more to address these issues?
