As more service members return from war zones around the world, clinicians must be prepared to treat them. Veterans with PTSD and other mental disorders must overcome the stigma associated with seeking treatment, and clinicians must equip these patients and their family members to deal with challenging symptoms. Clinicians should learn about military culture and jargon to better understand these patients and should become familiar with veteran resources to direct veterans and their families to the appropriate services. Clinicians may also need to communicate with their patients' employers to help both parties deal with illnesses such as PTSD. A coordinated effort is needed to meet the needs of veterans and their families, and clinicians play an integral role in recognizing and meeting those needs.
随着越来越多的军人从世界各地的战区返回，临床医生必须准备好为他们治疗。患有 PTSD 和其他精神障碍的退伍军人必须克服寻求治疗的耻辱感，临床医生必须使这些患者及其家属能够应对具有挑战性的症状。临床医生应该了解军事文化和行话，以便更好地了解这些患者，并熟悉退伍军人资源，以便将退伍军人及其家属引导到适当的服务机构。临床医生可能还需要与患者的雇主进行沟通，以帮助双方应对 PTSD 等疾病。需要协调各方努力，满足退伍军人及其家属的需求，而临床医生在识别和满足这些需求方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。
