Many Iraq War veterans can't shake the feeling of being constandy imperiled. "Therapists sometimes walk away from them with that eerie, anxious feeling that nowhere is safe," she says. For a surprising number of caregivers, these disturbing secondhand feelings bloom into full-blown PTSD, reports Brian E. Bride in the January 2007 issue of Social Work.

- Head Injuries Seen Heightening Risk of Dementia in Veterans
Head injuries may more than double the risk of dementia in military veterans, a study found. The dementia risk was 15.3 percent among U.S. veterans who had suffered a traumatic brain injury, compared with 6.8 percent for those who didn't suffer head trauma, over a seven-year period. The risk was significant for all forms of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, according to researchers, who reviewed medical records of 281,540 veterans ages 55 and older.
