VA Psychologist Encourages Vets Suffering From PTSD To Undergo Treatment.
On its website, the National Journal (3/2) notes that it met with Dr. Stacey Pollack, a clinical psychologist with the Department of Veterans Affairs, "for her perspective on the battle against" post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which "has increased in recent years."
Pollack, "who also serves as trauma services director" at the VA hospital in Washington, DC, "says that although she tries to encourage vets suffering PTSD to undergo treatment, 'I don't ever pretend to understand exactly what they go through.'"
