Stars and Stripes reports that the U.S. Army has launched a review of its handling of post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health evaluations at all of its medical facilities since 2001. The review is in response to fears that some soldiers had their diagnoses reversed because of concerns about the cost of treating them. The announcement follows disclosures that some soldiers diagnosed as suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder had that finding rejected during subsequent evaluations at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State.
