Combat Vet Don't Mean Crazy

When it comes to veteran mental health, there are some preconceived notions about what it means. After over a decade and a half of sustained combat operations and high operational tempo, the topic of veteran mental health has emerged into the public consciousness. This book is a collection of articles that first appeared on the Head Space and Timing blog, which can be found at www.veteranmentalhealth.com . They range from reflections on how to raise accurate awareness about veteran mental health, both in the individual and the community, to discussions about how to see veteran mental health as mental wellness instead of mental illness. Developing a greater understanding about the importance of and the need for stable and positive veteran mental health can lead to a post-military life that all service members desire.
