Given the current research on PTSD, what steps do you think the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs should take to deal with the effects of PTSD in returning soldiers?

I would reccomend them to cover the cost of therapy.

Explanation:

By the 1950s, treatments became more humane, but many people would not admit to any trauma symptoms due to the stigma surrounding mental illness. Treatments improved through the advent of group therapy and newly created psychotropic medications.  You may, as many service members with PTSD do, begin using alcohol or drugs to cope with your symptoms. This can lead to more serious conduct problems, which can potentially lead to a dishonorable discharge. If that happens, you will be unable to obtain any benefits from the VA once your return home. CBT is a type of psychotherapy that has consistently been found to be the most effective treatment of PTSD both in the short term and the long term. CBT for PTSD is trauma-focused, meaning the trauma event(s) are the center of the treatment.
