Yes: In regards to PTSD - it wasn't well understood when Vietnam veterans were returning from war. Many were mislabeled and treatment that was rendered was not in retrospect the best. They also suffered the trauma of being rejected by many Americans. Many have crippling, lifelong mental health issues.
