The article describes the functioning of the system of mental health care for veterans in the U.S. on the example of the state of California. Two clinical cases illustrating the issue of mental health disorders in this population of patients have also been presented. Veterans as well as active duty soldiers and civilian employees of the military compose a group of patients suffering from mental health problems, requiring increased attention of clinicians not only in the U.S. but in all countries that are engaged in military missions.
本文以加利福尼亚州为例,描述了美国退伍军人心理健康护理系统的运作情况。文中还介绍了两个临床案例,用以说明这类患者群体中的心理健康障碍问题。退伍军人以及现役军人和军队文职雇员构成了患有心理健康问题的患者群体,这不仅在美国,而且在所有执行军事任务的国家都需要临床医生给予更多关注。
