Number 3: "Consequences of Combat" Spring 2004
Deployment
of soldiers into combat has a significant effect on military personnel
and their families. Military personnel in war zones frequently have
serious reactions to their traumatic war experiences and being away
from their families. Sometimes the reactions continue after they return
home. Ongoing reactions to war-zone fear, horror, or helplessness are
connected to posttraumatic stress and can include:
Nightmares or
difficulty sleeping Unwanted distressing memories or thoughts Anxiety
and panic Irritability and anger Emotional numbing or loss of interest
in activities or people Problem alcohol or drug use to cope with stress
reactions
Traumatic stress
of deployment can also affect the families of military personnel.
Stress reactions may interfere with a service member's ability to
trust and be emotionally close to others. As a result, families may
feel emotionally cut off from the service member.
Families play
an important role in not only the recovery of the returning veteran,
but also they provide support to the soldier during their deployment.
Families can provide companionship and a sense of belonging, which
can help counter the veteran's feeling of separateness because of
his or her experiences. Families can provide practical and emotional
support for coping with life stressors.
