Take a look at some of this week's headlines: However, the true impact from war trauma cannot be reduced to a handful of psychiatric diagnoses, as some may want. It is a well-established, albeit uncomfortable, and conveniently ignored historical, medical and scientific fact that human adaptation to uncontrollable, unpredictable and potentially traumatic stress "causes" or significantly contributes to a wide-range of neurobiological, physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes that, when chronic and/or severe enough, will inevitably cause significant physiological alterations in the brain-mind-body, eventually leading to physical and/or psychological breakdown. It's not just me saying it. According to the National Institute of Medicine's exhaustive review of deployment-related stress effects on health: "In the brain, there is evidence of structural and functional changes resulting directly from chronic or severe stress." The changes are associated with alterations of the most profound functions of the brain: memory and decision-making [Institute of Medicine, (2008). Gulf War and Health: Volume 6.
