This reflects my experience in hospital for MDD. Patients over-drugged and important emotional issues neglected. (I was in the depressed/suicidal section--I imagine there are others where drugs are of primary importance.) One person had to have daily interactions with an uncle who had raped her throughout childhood and deal with her family's denial. Having her own child triggered her breakdown. When I last saw her, her face was twitching from med reaction, and she told me no one really wanted to talk about it.
I have never experienced what these vets have. I am soooo 'anti'-war. However, my heart goes out to them. War is the gates of hell.
