Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a serious aftermath of catastrophic events such as war. The incidence of PTSD appears to be high among Vietnam veterans. PTSD can be extremely disruptive to a person's physical and mental well-being, family life, social relationships, and employment status. Yet, for a variety of reasons, many Vietnam veterans suffering from PTSD have remained undiagnosed or insufficiently treated. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services, initiated a hospital-based treatment and rehabilitation program for Vietnam veterans who have PTSD. As of November 1989, 150 Vietnam veterans had been admitted to this program.
创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）可能是战争等灾难性事件的严重后果。创伤后应激障碍在越战退伍军人中的发病率似乎很高。创伤后应激障碍会对一个人的身心健康、家庭生活、社会关系和就业状况造成极大干扰。然而，由于种种原因，许多患有创伤后应激障碍的越战退伍军人仍未得到诊断或治疗不足。马萨诸塞州公共卫生部与马萨诸塞州退伍军人服务部合作，为患有创伤后应激障碍的越战退伍军人启动了一项以医院为基础的治疗和康复计划。截至1989年11月，已有150名越战退伍军人进入该计划。
