Quality of life becomes another factor, as well as debilitating stress on family. Ramifications are huge, conceivably consequenting in a veteran's losing his family (through the spouse demanding a divorce upon his return since she may feel unable to cope with his altered mental and/or physical conditions) to the veteran committing suicide. It is therefore crucial that psychological interventions be studied regarding their influence in regards to this situation as well as assessing variables that may be adopted in order to better one's counseling practice in regards to helping veterans with PTSD. Also helpful would be assessing whether gender...
If such were the case, counselors and social scientists could structure interventions and programs accordingly.

I would use Google Scholar in conducting further research. Oftentimes (although not always) Google Scholar may provide me with simply the abstract, but I would then use an advanced academic research base, such as PsychINFO available through my college portal in order to expand on the source.

Does Gender Affect the Utilization of Mental Health Care Services among Veterans? The decision one makes when choosing a career poses a lifelong effect on his own life as well as of his family members. The deployment decision of a career that the person has to face sometimes harms his mental health and family both (Brooks & Chopik, 2020). For example, if the person belongs to the army, he might be
Department of Veterans Affairs Claims Processing Dilemmas Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a cabinet-level agency in the U.S. government. The mission of the VA is taken from Lincoln's second inaugural address and is to "care for him who shall have borne the battle, his widow and orphans." Pursuant to this fundamental mission, the VA administers the largest healthcare system in the country and has trained more than half of all

PTSD is an anxiety disorder, which occurs after a person has seen or experienced a traumatic event including, but not limited to: assault, domestic abuse, prison stay, rape, terrorism, war, or
VA Security Breach The Veteran's Affairs department has had several notable security breeches in recent years. In one 2006 incident, patient data was downloaded onto an unsecured laptop and stolen. Patient records at the VA were unencrypted at the time. "If data is properly encrypted there is no data breach. The device can be stolen but no data can be accessed" because the thief lacks the 'key' to decode the data
Improving Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Wait Time for Veterans Care Veterans are senior citizens who have served the nation in a dedicated manner and in their elder days need to feel the reciprocation of the nation on the sacrifice that they made. The population demography of the U.S.A. is such that more elderly people are to be expected, hence the strain on the economy and the health care in general will
