Abstract

Post-Vietnam syndrome, a form of post-traumatic stress disorder, has gained clinical attention as the high psychiatric casualty rate (20% to 60%) among Vietnam veterans has become increasingly apparent. Post-Vietnam syndrome is characterized by intrusive, combat-related thoughts and nightmares, numbed responsiveness, and several specific symptoms such as drug dependence, depression, anxiety, and rage. A multifaceted treatment approach may include pharmacotherapy, group or individual therapy, and behavioral techniques.
