According to an article published by an English magazine, many of the soldiers who participated in the Gulf War have psychiatric problems.

In its day, it was thought that the soldiers were brave and heroic. To achieve a mood of struggle, during several wars the soldiers have been drugged, but by increasing control over drugs in the last wars, no adequate method has been found to overcome fear.

The number of mental patients in the Gulf War will never be known, but there are estimates that between 20% and 30% of the injured have nervous problems.

The most common diseases are amnesia, anxiety, disorientation and delirium, and to combat these diseases, as we know, solutions are not immediate.
