It has been widely recognised among segments of the Medical fraternity that a new malaise identified as the "Iraq Syndrome" seems to be manifesting itself among soldiers assigned to duty in Iraq, especially those in line for a second or more tour there. The "Syndrome" has smany facets of symptoms but nothing definite enough to be included in the usual illness catagories. Flu like symptoms prevail among those exhibiting the Syndrome.
It has been suggested that perhaps the use of Psychiatric treatment would be more appropriate with those complaining of or exhibiting the Syndrome's symptoms. Post Assignment Fear Disorder is more than likely the culprit according to many therapists.
