War and the mind

Today is Veteran's Day. And in honor of all those who have served I explore the impact of war on mental health on my Psychology Today blog with a post titled: Mental Health and the Culture of War.

Imagine what it would be like to have bipolar disorder and deal with the challenges of war and there seems to be no clear evidence that war can trigger bipolar disorder but who knows. If you know someone who is a veteran who may have mental health problems, please refer them to the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA)
