Service-related mental ill health
We look after Veterans who come to us with a wide range of mental health issues. We are not just concerned with the care of those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), although this is a predominant condition within our patient group.
Below is a list of the most common types of mental health problems that our clinicians deal with:
- PTSD
- Clinical depression
- Anxiety states
- Adjustment disorders
- Phobic disorders
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Bi-polar illness (manic depression)
- Issues relating to past and present substance abuse/dependence (drug and alcohol)
- Psychotic conditions in a non-acute phase
- Issues relating to anger
Many of the Veterans we see suffer from more than one of these conditions (known medically as co-morbidity), and these problems are often complicated by relationship and home-life difficulties.
