This resource was developed by Medscape Education in support of Joining Forces, a national initiative to mobilize all sectors of American society to aid military service members and their families. Post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury are common in combat veterans; many service members and their families face additional mental health challenges in coping with long or multiple deployments.

Through original education programming and links to existing resources, Medscape aims to improve clinicians' awareness of the healthcare challenges faced by service members and veterans and their families and to improve clinicians' capacity to screen, diagnose, treat, and refer appropriately for these conditions.
