An investigation by Salon has found that the U.S. Army is pressuring doctors to not diagnose soldiers with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and brain injuries out of concerns over the cost of treating thousands of returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. The story’s “smoking gun” consists of a secretly taped interview (excerpt here) that one Army veteran made with his psychologist, Douglas McNinch, who told his patient, “Not only myself, but all the clinicians up here are being pressured to not diagnose PTSD and diagnose anxiety disorder NOS [instead].” McNinch also told his patient, who suffered from a brain injury as well, that the Army said he was “overdiagnosing brain injuries,” even though documentation shows many soldiers are suffering from such problems. “You are bringing a generation of brain-damaged individuals back here,” said McNinch. “You have got to get a game plan together for this public health crisis.”
