Explanation / Answer

1. Within the field of mental health, there has been a great deal of understanding about the differences in the issues and experiences of different sections of the population when faced with unusual or special uncontrollable environmental factors. As Wars and violence have become a common occurance over the years, mental healthpsychology too had began to take cognisance of the increasing vulnerability of the war veterans to major mental disorders. In particular, it is seen that a greater population of veterans are more likely be affected by pos5 traumatic stress disorder where they regularly have ‘flashbacks’ of the time of their service on the frontline and the killings and deaths that they witnessed.

Moreover, some of the veterans who had incurred severe injuries, phantom limbs during their service may find it difficult to find another job upon their return. Their experience of war may make them more prone to uncontrollable negative feelings anger, guilt, etc and they are thus at a greater risk of emotional breakdowns, depression and panic attacks,Thus, compared to the general population, War veterans may require a relatively different treatment and rehabilitation programmes, which draw attention away from their volatile past and help them mitigate their present and future more holistically.
