The Vietnam War was Australia's longest single commitment, with more than 45,000 Australians serving from 1962 to 1972. The average Vietnam veteran is now in his 40s, facing the usual concerns of mid-life. There may be additional difficulties that are perhaps better appreciated now than in the 1970s, but many veterans bemoan the public's ignorance of both the conflict and the conditions particular to their lot. Diagnostic labels such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) continue to cause confusion among veterans, their doctors and the general public. This paper presents a brief review of some topics relevant to caring for these veterans in general practice
