Afghan Men Devastated

Neil Steyskal submitted this New York Times article (free registration required) and writes "The NY Times has a feature article on the mental and physical devastation of Afghan men after decades of war." From the article: " Afghanistan is a nation with 24 million people but only three psychiatric hospitals and eight psychiatrists to serve them. It has virtually no ability to treat its enormous population of mentally ill war victims, according to the World Health Organization, which estimates the mentally ill population at two million."
