General Schoomaker says delays in seeking mental health may cause problems
Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker says they are working to implement care initiatives to address combat stress. Since the beginning of the global war on terror, he says, they are working to meet the health care needs of returning soldiers. We are well aware of the fact that the length of deployments can affect mental health, and our experience in previous conflicts, notably Vietnam, suggests that delays in seeking mental health treatment may exacerbate physiological symptoms.
