Publisher's Summary
Being back home can be as difficult, if not more so, than the time spent serving in a combat zone. It's with this truth that Colonel Charles W. Hoge, M.D., a leading advocate for eliminating the stigma of mental-health care, presents Once a Warrior - Always a Warrior, a groundbreaking resource with essential new insights for anyone who has ever returned home from a war zone.
In clear, practical language, Dr. Hoge explores the latest knowledge in combat stress, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury), and other physiological reactions to war, and their treatment options.
Recognizing that warriors and family members both change during deployment, he helps them better understand one another's experience, especially living with enduring survival skills from the combat environment that are often viewed as "symptoms" back home. The heart of this book focuses on what's necessary to successfully navigate the transition - "LANDNAV" for the home front.
Once a Warrior - Always a Warrior shows how a warrior's knowledge and skills are vital for living at peace in an insane world.

Starts of strong but stop before treatments
This book brings great insights into understanding returned veterans experiences however it is disappointing ‘treatment options’ are completely biased by the authors opinion and unsupported by medical evidence. The author is not a physician or a scientist. Providing a bias opinion against particular treatments is completely unhelpful, especially when the opinions are contrary to clinical trials. It’s hard enough to break through stereotypes and preconceived ideas against medical interventions. Sadly, I no longer feel I can recommend this book to my partner whose is suffering immensely. Very disappointing.
