Most of us have no idea what we ask people to do when we put them in harm's way and what people have to endure when they're there, but more so when they come home re-entering.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eric Newhouse takes a deep dive into the mental health struggles faced by soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan in this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time'. Hosted by Mary Woods, the conversation sheds light on the harrowing realities of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) among veterans. Drawing from his book 'Faces of Combat', Newhouse discusses the emotional and psychological toll that combat takes on soldiers and their families.
Newhouse brings a wealth of experience to the table, having spent years reporting on addiction and mental health. His insights are both eye-opening and deeply moving. He emphasizes the need for family-centered recovery programs and highlights innovative solutions like veterans' courts and non-traditional treatments such as Alphastem. But it's not just about the veterans. The episode also delves into how war impacts families, stressing the collective responsibility we all share in supporting those who have served.
Whether you're a veteran, a family member, or simply someone interested in understanding the complexities of combat-related mental health issues, this episode offers valuable perspectives and actionable advice. Tune in to hear how communities can come together to provide the care and support our veterans deserve. This isn't just a discussion; it's a call to action for better mental health care for those who've given so much.
