DENVER (AP) - The Army is making a "dramatic turn" in how it handles soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder, a member of a veterans group investigating mental health care at Fort Carson said Wednesday.
After two days of closed-door meetings with commanders and congressional staffers at the post, Steve Robinson said commanders have agreed to do a better job educating officers about the condition and take steps to amend the records of wrongly diagnosed soldiers.
"I believe the Army has made a dramatic turn. ... I think we're going to see a cultural sea change, and I think we just have to continue to monitor it to make sure that it happens," said Robinson, of Veterans for America, in a conference call with reporters.
