According to Healio (5/27, Downey), Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, MD, MPH, “discussed the mental health of female veterans, or ‘invisible veterans,’ at the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting.” Dr. Ritchie explained, “Traditionally, the services that are offered to veterans are for older, single, male, often Vietnam-era veterans.” What this means is that “women often cannot find services that are right for them, and may end up homeless or on the streets.”
