Mental Health Among U S Soldiers In Vietnam War

A U S Army psychiatrist in Vietnam reports a lower rate of serious mental illness among 16 000 troops than in the U S civilian population. Captain Jamie R Clemons says about 100 patients monthly visit his office and only two or three are psychotic, with prompt on site care contributing to better morale.

Psychiatric care for soldiers in Vietnam era policy shift

The Decatur Daily notes a policy shift toward treating soldiers' mental health in theater rather than sending them home. Medical units include social work specialists to address problems locally, with returns to duty kept in mind. The piece contrasts Vietnam practices with Korea era approaches. It quotes physicians on reducing stigma and the belief that treating issues at hand helps troops accept their condition.
