post-traumatic-stress disorder

— The Readjustment Counseling Service, as “Outreach” is formally called, costs $10 million and serves 50,000 veterans in 91 storefronts nationwide. It has proven the most effective approach to dealing with the special misery which our most unpopular war visited on those who fought it. It is “post-traumatic-stress disorder” or delayed stress, which produces suicidal urges, nightmares, self-destructive rages and disorientation.
