Will those brave soldiers who fought in Vietnam return home with only physical injuries? Most of us already know of the mental effects of that a war can have on the fragile human condition. The United States government had thus far provided treatment for these soldiers, but in an attempt to deliver treatment for as many people as possible, government officials missed a few critical steps in the recuperation process. "Assessment and monitoring" is not carried out properly, and so there is a high chance that many patients did not fully recover, and their disorder will come back to haunt them, perhaps in a dream or in a vivid flashback, stimulated by a loud noise or a specific object, such as a gun. The year 2014 should bring the completion of a better PTSD treatment plan, which includes more health care providers, and a variety of new techniques that may aide in the treatment of PTSD.
